Not counting the long-promised discounts, the * city is also offering free bus-subway transfers which will cost it another * $168 million. Wow. They are hurting for money, yet spent $700 million on it to offer discounts? They aren't expecting to monitor individual users, like in Singapore, are they? Let's see...they don't print them up in advance, so they can't be stolen. But each token booth has a video camera, which, if synchronized time-wise would yield a picture to associate with each card. They wouldn't use 'machine vision' to identify people, would they? They would never take our picture from a video camera and |
