One of the bros here was concerned that the new ez link card would allow our movements to be tracked. I think his fears are unfounded, since the old ez link card which was purchased without any identification, can now be exchanged for a new card without any identification.
However, what it does allow is that if you are indeed detained by some authority, they may be able to track your movements on public transport using your ez link card. But it does not allow someone to track you without any basis.
It's well know that criminals who use their credit cards or atm cards or e-mail accounts or real passports, inevitably end up being tracked and caught. So does it mean that it will be very difficult to track our movements if we only use cash and avoid using any of the above items that can identify us?
