In what way?

The ability to have permanently online barriers, ticket machines etc
within a few years will mean there will be no need for smart cards to
store data locally. NFC, barcodes etc with an online back end are
far more practical (and media agnostic), while contactless
credit/debit cards will win out for local travel.
