Considering how often we look at our commuters card, it is puzzling how so many of them are not better designed—Japanese commuters, on the other hand, are among the lucky ones who get to own beautifully designed, inspiring subway cards.
Tokyo-based online design magazine PingMag has recently featured a selection of IC (Integrated Circuit) cards that would make cherished collectibles for design fanatics.
Consisting of official designs, commemorative limited editions and even personalized cards, many of these subway cards—which could also be used to travel on the railway—sport minimalist but eye-catching, brightly colored graphic designs.
Don’t you wish that your city offered such attractive commuters cards too?
