I think rather than transit, it is actually a “travel” card because you can carry both £ and € on it.

This is what they say:

Starling is a great option if you live in the UK. It could easily replace your old bank. Also ideal for UK-based travelers.

I had a debit card that could be used as a transit pass but I never used it as such. IIRC it didn’t support contactless payment, just public transportation. Eventually got it replaced with one without RFID but that could be used internationally and for online purchases.

The opposite is Taiwan for example, it has EASY CARD.
It is a national Transit Card but it can also be used at MANY locations for purchases.
Taiwan is still very cash centric, and they obviously have Visa and MC terminals in many places, but EASY CARD have their own terminals that are plentiful.

If I lived in Taiwan, I would 100% have one converted.
Bonus is, No expiry

Wikipedia description below

The EasyCard is a contactless smartcard system operated by the EasyCard Corporation, which was previously named the “Taipei Smart Card Corporation”, for payment on the Taipei Metro (also known as “Taipei MRT”, or “Taipei Rapid Transit System”), buses, and other public transport services in Taipei since June 2002, and its usage has since expanded to multiple kinds of businesses. Its use has also since been expanded to include convenience stores, department stores, supermarkets, taxis, and other retailers since 1 April 2010.[1] Like conventional electronic fare systems, the card employs RFID technology to operate without physical contact. They are available for purchase at all Metro stations and all chain convenience stores.

So ChatGPT is starting to catch up to Pilgrimsmaster…

Speaking of Pilgrim, I prepared this emoji for another place and think that some of the people here might enjoy is as well:

Just came to relay a funny conversation I had.

Someone: Would you upload your brain into a machine?
Me: It’d depend on who is doing it?
Someone: What? Like who?
Me: Musk’s machine? No. Amal’s machine. Yeah, I think so.
Someone: Who is Amal???
Me: Someone with ethics.

ILY Amal. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
