Modal Challenges

RFID embedded Taipei Metro token has a form factor that is condusive to being inserted - much like a coin. Except that at certain stations the only option is to press the token on the flat reader surface - much like an office ID card.

Passengers unfamiliar with the train station exit gates i.e. non-locals who are more likely to buy one-off tokens rather than travel cards, are required to change their grip at short notice.
