In major metropolitan areas, a "new" form of the season ticket is emerging where no specific pass is purchased in advance. Instead, passengers "tap in and out" using contactless bank cards. Backend systems automatically calculate the daily or weekly fare, ensuring the passenger never pays more than the price of a season ticket (a system known as "capping"). This democratizes the season ticket benefit, making it accessible to irregular travelers who previously could not justify the upfront cost of an annual pass.
