Getting On the Subway Without a MetroCard? Priceless.
Slow progress toward standardizing the payment method for travel throughout the region on ferries, buses, subways and commuter rail hit a turning point with the introduction at PATH stations of special cards that allow you to wave your wallet at the turnstile to get through.

Those cards, already used at gas stations and grocery stores, are linked to the user's credit card or bank accounts.- Tom McGeveran
