[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Precisely my point. It's not a problem for people who ride daily. But a lot of people ride once a week. We're not like you but there are a good number of us. [/quote]
So 40-50 times a year?  Hardly a casual user.  Do you really not know how the system works?

Here's the thing - Metro need not cater to the criminally lazy among us.  For example, those that can't be bothered to check the fare on their antiquated paper cards (fares that are, I might add, printed right on the danged thing), and see if they have enough on the card to complete their trip.  It ain't rocket science.  Short version - pay a modicum of attention, and you'll be fine.

Did I say I didn't know how it worked?

I've seen plenty of people standing by the exitfare asking others for change for a $20 or just if someone could give them 50 cents. 
You know what happens if there are two systems, one in which you can never be wrong about how much the fare is or whether you still have that $5 in your pocket, and one in which you could use a $20 or a credit card or even (gasp) put in another paper card to add the two values together? The second system would have more users. That's competition. [/quote]
