Over here in Boston we definitely have wide spread RFID mass transit use. But what I'm wondering is if one of our cards can be hacked to put unlimited access to mass transit..lol.
But on a serious note, buildings here in the financial district all use RFID cards for secure access, including buildings such as the Federal Reserve Bank so I'm hoping no one really begins to exploit these cards.
Are you sure it's RFID? The company I work for uses cards that don't need a bar code because they have to be close enough for a magnetic field to trigger the lock.
I know that its probably half and half. Older companies seem to be using RFID, but seems as if some companies do use the strip. The company I work for though uses RFID because when its together in my wallet with my Mass Transit card they conflict with one another on occasion.
