A Fare Card is a prepaid card used for public transportation systems, allowing passengers to pay for their rides without needing cash or paper tickets. These cards can be loaded with a specific amount of money and are often used in cities with extensive transit networks, such as New York City or San Francisco. Users simply tap or swipe their Fare Card at designated entry points, making the boarding process quicker and more efficient. Many transit systems also offer discounts for frequent travelers, encouraging the use of these cards for regular commutes.
