I don't think Metrocards count as "paper tickets," they're made out of some kind of cheap plastic.

I don't have a TON of experience with public transit, growing up in the midwest kind of in the country, but I moved to NYC a few months back and the paper (super thin plastic) tickets are kind of a bummer. I'd spent enough time in SF to get used to the thick quality cards, and the tap-to-enter is SO much nicer than fishing the Metrocard out of your bag and swiping the turnstile every time. One of the biggest hassles during rush hour is everyone crowding the turnstiles and people trying to go through in both directions at the same time.
