OK, I'll bite. What's your beef with a unified farecard system in a metropolitan area with three states and 5 or 6 counties all trying to run a coherent mass transit system? A unified farecard permits easier application of transfer discounts, and doesn't require any jurisdiction to charge any particular fee for its transit service-- Montgomery County is free to raise or lower its Ride On fares as it sees fit, while its riders can transfer easily to the WMATA system without the need for exact fares, or duplicate fare media, both of which were a real nuisance before.
