#viral | Card Not Accepted: Washington Metro's Big Debut Hits a Snag
The Washington metro introduced payment by... an ordinary bank card and held a whole press conference to mark the occasion.
However, when a journalist decided to demonstrate the new system live on air, it malfunctioned and did not allow him into the metro
Fun fact: payment by card, phone or via apps has been available in the Moscow metro for about five years now.
But check this out: since 2021, you can pay in the metro with your FACE using biometrics!
