now they know where i go
Today was my first day with the new EZ Rider BART card. No more paper tickets, no more fumbling with the world’s most unusable UI when I have to refill said paper tickets, no more wondering if there’s enough value on said paper ticket to make it home. Instead, an RFID-enabled card linked to an appropriate credit institution which is swiped on entry and exit. The combination of this and the FasTrak-enabled automobiles means that The Man will know where I am, but it’s not as if my route between North Berkeley and Powell is much of a secret…
Insanely jealous BART rider? The program’s currently in pilot; apply today.
