What movie (or groovy little video game) do you immediately think of when you see my new Tokyo Metro card? Don’t feel too nerdy that your mind instantly was filled with images of Tron — I’m the one who bought a subway card just because it has light cycles on it.
Love it. Really cool.
I am one of what I can only assume is a very, very small number of people world-wide who COLLECT public transit cards from around the globe. This one would make a fine addition to my collection, and I shall seek it out next time I’m in Tokyo.
Tron, baby, Tron. I remember lining all $3 of my lawn-mowing earnings up on the machine, waiting my turn. We played at “Go Bananas,” the shady arcarde.
