What’s a dumb way to die? An example is the saga around legacy ez-link and Flashpay cards on transit, with the public yelling bloody murder over being forced to transition to the account-based SimplyGo ticketing system. It started from a small thing like not being able to see card values and fares. Which, for the record, no other similar system in the world can.
And it may come from a mindset that those who use bank cards are deemed to be higher up in their ivory towers than the peasant who needs to ensure they’re not being scammed.
