Its more than just for transit though. He's talking about a card where you could pay for all city owned services including transit, fitness facilities, etc. This would allow for the money to be allocated based on use (at least as I interpret this, but don't flame him if I'm misunderstanding it!). It makes a lot of sense. I'm sure that this technology has been around, but no one else seems to be talking about this kind of thing.

Right. I guess that is a sticking point for some people. Frankly the "he should quit his job" thing is just dumb. I have never seen anyone else quit their job before putting out resumes. McIver, Hawkeswoth and Connelly are all being paid as alderman and campaigning. At least Kent is donating this salary to charity while he continues to do that job and run for the mayors seat.
(Assuming this was going to be where you were headed here 4x4, so I thought that I would comment in advance!)
