I'm not ready to see the expiration date of xx/30. That's like 30 years away right, not 7?

Yup it's been awhile, since the new fare vending machines I think. They seem to be thinner and lower quality too, which makes sense now that it's easier to get one.

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...

Classic shit show T. They can't even afford cards gloss. A study of the Helsinki transit system showed a 7% (from 90 to 97%) increase in on time rates when they started glossing their cards because the RF waves on the card transmitters work faster.

Realistic expectations for when the T absolutely and completely fails.

yep and the new ones don't work through your wallet anymore, you have to take them out to tap them.

The glossy ones never worked through my wallet.. and I went through multiple wallets. I guess 'Big Wallet' has it out for me.

Works through my wallet I just got a new one in January so unless the new ones are newer than that

Maybe my card's defective!

More likely it's either your wallet or other cards but I definitely wouldn't rule out the T having little too no quality control on the cheapest cards they could find

Can't be my wallet, because the only thing that changed was my CharlieCard. Unfortunately I feel like "the T is bad now" is probably the answer.

Charliecard texture changed to matte??
