The Washington Metro card did not work in Bart faregates.  

On this note...  A friend of mine asked me to mail him a bart card.  I
did, and he did some work with magnetic tape developer on it.  He next
asked for a card on which there had been an entry, but no exit.  I
couldn't think of any good way to get one (that I was willing to try) so
the project stopped there.  It could be revived.
