And to complete correction, trains in France (Germany, Switzerland,…) don't smell “unique”. Not comparable to public transportation in North America.

Seems like any system which uses the device itself to store value is susceptible to hackage.

Yeppe. it looks like a series 300 (or another Hikari) who runs from Tokyo trough Osaka to Hiroshima…

That isn't an SNCF train – It's a Shinkansen (Japanese bullet train).

Quote “SNCF, a railway company in France [...]“
To be precise, SNCF (Société nationale de chemin de fer, Railway National Company) is the only one one – state owned – company. The market will soon be open for competition, but so far it's the only one we have. And for information, it works better than in England – where competition is open – and is cheaper.
