I've seen ads on using Visa and Mastercard for public transportation instead of special cards. Especially in Japan and Singapore. Not sure how two aspects are addressed: privacy and availability (in case of bank card txs do not work?).

Personally, I'll stick to using the special transport card or cash on public transportation as long as I can. I hate the idea of all my movements being sold to advertisers (or, actually, anyone paying some moneys).
