One final thought about Ventra.

[randomness]

It occurs to me that I haven't yet tried to put money on my card.

From @Ventrachicago:

With #Ventra's convenient vending machines you can check your balance, add value, or smash your head against the side until you pass out!

Ut-oh.

Nope. The U of C id has an rfid that gives us access to buildings and the complaintiff* said that he never had to take it out of his wallet with the chicago card but now he does with his ventra card. It's possible that some unknown variable changed but this was a student in my department so I'm going to assume there was some hypothesis testing.

*I think this should be a word now
