For the questions/concerns section, some ideas:

• What if people can just pay directly without buying metro-specific fare, e.g. in NYC metro can just use credit card directly?
  • Not all metros have this, we're designing this for all metros
  • Employer subsidy case - employer isnt just going to give you cash
• How does the volatility in price of ETH, BTC, other tokens that can be exchanged for TFSA impact the monetary value of TFSA? Will employers have to pay more to stock their employees commute accounts if BTC is up?

For the questions/concerns section, some ideas:

• Is this only a use case for the metro system?
  • No, this can be expanded upon just the metro network, it can include bus, bicycle, other transportation forms, and other FSA types
• Why would the transportation companies or governments approve this system change?
  • Users can still pay in fiat if they want to however this optimizes different metro systems across the country while also giving transportation companies an opportunity for another stream of revenue which is from LP rewards and potentially transaction fees onchain
  • How would you make users and companies adopt your system?
  • Users and companies would adopt the system just like any other DeFi protocol or DApp that has a value use case, the opportunity of generating another stream of income while allowing users to utilize the full amount of funds on their metro cards provides a solution that can be built upon further.
