Hey everybody, I'm kind of new here so I don't know if this is in the right forum. Anyway, I live in Canada and university students here get U-Passes (not sure about everywhere else), and they're insanely easy to make copies of. There are no security features whatsoever, and the paper feels the same as the photo paper i made a copy on. You can scan them and sell them for about $50 a pop, and you just need to flash it when you get on the bus, so it doesn't matter that the black strip doesn't scan. But my questions is this: is there any way to make ones with a working strip, that will show up as activated if you scan it? Hope this makes sense. Cheers.

Get a magnetic strip reader/writer. About $100-$150.

you can buy the magnetic stripe devices. thats the only way, to my knowledge

you could get a fake one, then scratch the shit out of the whole of the back of the card, then pretend which could be an explanation of why it doesnt work

technically, scratches dont really affect magnetic stripes, but you wouldnt expect people to know that. it would only work for things where theres a guy actually checking a card.

lol i dunno

But if you made copies is it possible that the transit computer system would fuck you in the ass if two people scanned their cards in two different parts of the city at the same time? Because the back up cards would all have the same student information. It's unlikely that two people would scan cards at the same time but it's still possible. Any thoughts?
Edit: word. Scratching the shit out of it is something I'd never have thought of. Thanks.

Bus drivers don't care, but watch out for the transit cops at skytrain stations

one of them ripped my U-pass out of my hand and examined it for a few seconds. I don't know what the pig was looking for.

also, they have photos on it, so if you already have customers do it.

They probably have a really shitty system for authentification. I'd bet dollars to donuts that the value is stored on the card. Have fun with a magstripe reader/encoder if that's the case.
