We use those here in Helsinki, they're fantastic. You can load both time and money on (money is used if you only have a card for a specific area - you hit a button and it deducts the extra from your credit.) They're so quick to use - just swipe and you're sorted (and the only time you actually *need* to swipe is on the bus, because you enter where the driver is. Trams, trains and the metro you don't really need to bother ;0)
