IC cards, or contactless smart cards, make commuting on public transportation a snap.
The answer to that question comes from EasyCard, the IC card used by the Taipei Metro system and other public transportation networks in the Taiwanese capital.
The EasyCard Moon Stick is priced at 1,799 Taiwan dollars (US$65.20) and preorders can be placed through the Momo online shop here between January 18 and 24.
