What a CASHLESS society REALLY means

Privacy is the ability for an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.
Take off the tinfoil hat, NYC is not planning to get rid of metrocards. The credit card payment ability is just a convenience feature to get more people riding transit.
I mean, my tinfoil hat is on for the same reason - I haven't been arsed using Transport for London's Oyster card because there's a cost cap placed on all travel paid for by one single card. I suppose my bank has my details already so it'd better that than having another party with my data... and another card to lose, more likely.
