But the two analogies are hardly similar. With your bus stop analogy - people who can't stand could choose to use an alternative route that could cater to their needs (or an alternative method of assistance while waiting such as a wheelchair). 

I think there is a huge difference between catering to preferences and accommodating/considering the most vulnerable members of society. At the moment, we have a cash/card hybrid system which is at least generally inclusive - to move to a completely cashless system we would have to ensure it was at least if not more inclusive (which could be possible but would require reform of the current system).

Let's hope the bus stop isn't in London, as the buses there have been cashless for years now.
