To peoples asking: "Why not just QR codes?" Again it's all about latency. QR codes take longer when you tap them at the gate: opening the app, waiting for the scanner to adjust, connecting to inet. While NFC handle these tasks almost instantly. A big difference in super busy places where queues are a nightmare.

Again, this problem wouldn't exist if we can optimize WFH methods. We don't need to solving "physical problems" from start to finish. Making, distributing, and recycling all those ticket papers.

No matter how advanced your transportation tech is, moving people long distances is still really costly. Sorry to "steer" this conversation into WFH and WFO topics.
