    MIT hackers did a review of the Charlie Card System and their vulnerabilities, that’s how I know. I’m not a coder.

    Edit omg!!! : https://youtu.be/DDRiLe0TyyE. Polish a fuckin’ turd

    I was hinting at how if Pasmo is used for more than just transit, if it was the Charlie card system it wouldn’t be that great for people who don’t have a card issued to them, which you can have a card issued to you with your face on it and you can register it online and everything. They also have disability / reduced senior 65+ tap cards that you can get issued to you where you only have to pay half fare.

      So the interesting thing about that is there’s traveler cards and there’s resident cards. Somehow I get resident cards. I guess I’m bad with menus or friends help me in whatever country I’m in. Both of my Japanese and Irish transit cards are heh have local rates. The traveler rates are insane compared to what I pay, that’s a bit exaggerated but it does save some money. Kind like you mentioned senior rates, it would be double the standard rates of a local. I don’t think I’m really taking too much advantage of it because I pay the local taxes instead of writing them off. But yeah Pasmo is interesting, it’s like my Leap card but I can buy beer with it and of course it has a set limit and there’s unique ID that’s tied to your passport–hence why I mentioned I didn’t want to FAFO.
