Taler will make a good alternative if it ever sees the light of day
For the uninitiated. He’s talking about GNU taker https://taler.net/en/index.html
Tldr. Really fancy document scanner which automatically categorizes documents for you (incl. IDs, Passports, Library Cards etc.)
I thought it was a RFID and NFC scanner which would let you save stuff like transportation cards to your phone. That would be a killer feature but probably impossible due to how these card are designed
The security of these cards relies on them being difficult to clone without the central authority providing the system to do so.
Hopefully more public transportation rolls out their pass onboarding into Google Wallet, Apple Pay, etc.
