I'll be part of a limited test of this starting next week, and I'm curious
to know if others have used similar cards. It appears to be akin to the
OysterCard being rolled out in the London system - a smart-card that works
by RFID instead of being inserted or swiped to read the device.

The Chicago Transit Authority has its "Chicago Card" which appears to use
that principle. I've never used it, though.

I think the "SmartTrip" (IIRC) card in Washington, DC is similar.
