PINs appear to have problems internationally. I've just got back from
two weeks in California, during which time I signed for all in-store

Well, BART is not an organization that I'd expect to make things work,

I dunno, it's always worked pretty well for me. And they had
stored-value tickets years before Oyster.

They had to, that is the only kind of fare that exists.

That doesn't follow. You could have a system with only single and
return fares but only issue one-trip tickets.
