Thanks for nothing.
@breadandcircuses Is that how it is in the United States? Jeez, haven’t you ever heard of stored-value cards? Like the PRESTO card we have here in Toronto. Or the Octopus card in Hong Kong. Or the Suica card in Tokyo. I’m sure there are apps for whatever wallet app you have on your phone, but you can’t go wrong with stored-value cards.
@enoch_exe_inc @breadandcircuses Most local transit systems have those types of cards, but you can’t use them for long distance rail. That’s what the cartoon is referring too.

We rode Amtrak sleeper train in March this year, and their tickets don't have carriage numbers and places on them. You go to a carriage with your ticket, hopefully a correct one, and a member of staff looks for your name on a printout, which does have all this info...
