I uninstalled the transit apps for Beijing and Shanghai because they sucked up space on my phone, and I find the cards to be more convenient (i.e. no need to pull up the app when walking through the gates). I also buy single journey tickets on occasions in which I'm awash with coins.

With respect to the thread title, I was a hold out against real name registration until about 2 years ago, when I reluctantly admitted defeat. Along similar lines, I am no longer especially bothered by SIM vendors in airports that price gouge within reason because they tend to be pretty efficient with respect to registration, whereas this is not the case at many Unicom/Mobile stores.
