This is off topic,but I want this idea out there in case I get hit by a bus or something.
The C.T.A. should offer a fare card that is also a check card.It doesn't matter if fare card readers or credit/debit readers are incompatible.Simply have 2 strips on the card,1 for each system.If 2 strips would cancel each other out at times,go with the 2 card method,each card could access the account although they were compatible with only one reading system.
If a two-card system would be acceptable, what's wrong with the Chicago Card Plus system, where the transit card is linked to a credit or debit card? Hopefully you can explain before you are hit by that bus.
The card could serve as a de facto bank account for those that couldn't get a regular bank account,debit card or credit card.It also would be popular with people that wanted an anonymous debit card.
And why should the CTA provide such cards for people who can't get a ragular bank account, debit card or credit card?
Just trying to understand.
