Take off the tinfoil hat, NYC is not planning to get rid of metrocards. The credit card payment ability is just a convenience feature to get more people riding transit.
I mean, my tinfoil hat is on for the same reason - I haven't been arsed using Transport for London's Oyster card because there's a cost cap placed on all travel paid for by one single card. I suppose my bank has my details already so it'd better that than having another party with my data... and another card to lose, more likely.
