I still dont understand the trial phase...JR East and the Private Railways have been using RFID cards (Suica & PASMO) for a year now..and its has been nothing but a success...

Heh, nice to see that the states is still years behind the japanese market.

The best part about Mobile Suica used in the Tokyo area is the ability to charge it up and buy monthly passes, express tickets using a credit card over the internet, completely removing the need to stop and buy tickets. Besides, most people have their cellphone handy at all times.]]>Feb 1st 2008 4:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/contactless-payment-trial-goes-live-on-san-franciscos-bart/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/contactless-payment-trial-goes-live-on-san-franciscos-bart/Feb 3rd 2008 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/contactless-payment-trial-goes-live-on-san-franciscos-bart/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/contactless-payment-trial-goes-live-on-san-franciscos-bart/Feb 3rd 2008 11:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/contactless-payment-trial-goes-live-on-san-franciscos-bart/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/contactless-payment-trial-goes-live-on-san-franciscos-bart/
