In D.C. (one of the few places in the US with good public transport) you can get a pass you put money on. Then you just scan it when you enter/exit a station and you get billed for the price of that trip. It’s dead simple. (It could be made even simpler if you just connected a credit card to it though, or if it just was, as an option, your credit card or google/apple pay.)

It sounds like to fix this problem the government just needs to regulate these companies and implement a similar system. It’s far simpler and more reliable and robust.
