Whilst this does make the puppy easier to use (to check balances, update accounts, add funds online, itemise trips etc etc) it does mean that the card can be used to track your trips around Melbourne and its environs quite extensively ... and the state government ... and the privately run transport system operators ...

Just as you guys don´t feel alone in your bickering, I hereby inform
you that the local contactless cards system for buses, subway and
metro trains in the Buenos Aires area (dubbed SUBE) is exactly as you
have described. http://www.sube.gov.ar

AFAIK technically it´s a 125 Khz RFID card

As usual, I can´t provide answers about Australian stuff but
comparisons of striking similarities from the other side of the
globe...
