A watch as a EZ-Link card?

  I take the bus 154 everyday to go to work... each day i see this guy in army fatigues get on the bus at the next stop...
  
  instead of flashing the ez-link card, he seems to place his watch near the reader, with nothing else in his hand... the reader bleeps the "okay" sound and he walks into the bus... the driver does nothing... as if nothing's wrong...
  
  is there such a gadget?

  don't think so.. they shrank the chip into a small little thing and can be attached to the watch...
  
  i think can be attached to other things too

  This techno gizmo is so Coolz! I dun think that it would be made compulsory for all people who take transportation. I suppose that both types of EZ-Link would be used in the near future.
