Oh well, if everyone is so concerned about the _huge_ inconvenience of
actually removing a ticket from your wallet, then I guess you will be prime
candidates for "Metcard Xpress" when (if) it is finally released.

For those who don't know, this is the Smartcard ticket, which will allow
you to just wave your ticket near the validators or ticket gates, rather
than having to insert it in a slot.
