Few industries today are more dependent on card technologies than the transportation industry. Employees are issued ID badges so that customers know who to turn to for assistance. Contractors, along with employees, typically use proximity cards to gain access throughout the facilities designated for authorized personnel only. Daily customers use passes for weekly, monthly even annual usage, while students, senior citizens and disabled citizens often receive free or discounted passes.

Transit passes come in many forms, and vary from city to city. The more traditional transportation systems rely on prepaid bus and subway passes. Using cards with magnetic stripes, passengers upon entry swipe their passes, and the appropriate fare is deducted.

In many cases municipal transportation passes can be combined with other forms of identification/membership passes to offer those who are authorized, entry into multiple facilities from one card. For instance a student ID card could serve to additionally provide students access to local shuttles, buses, and subways.
