For anyone who knows more about Hong Kong's Octopus Card move to Apple and Google digital wallets, what is your general assessment on its dependency on these companies in the future?

      I was surprised Hong Kong would give up their payment system that seems to have worked just fine for a Google platform that was charging “service fees”.

      I wonder how much lobbying happened /s
