All Moscow public transport powered by these chips (actually it was, nowadays the chips we use are clones, made in Russia itself) - trains, metro and buses.
For a few years now, you may usually do a contactless card payment - just tap your bank (debit or credit) card. The fare is often higher but so is convenience.
Back around 2010 I remember reading these accusations that significant part of revenue went directly to Mifare for the massive number of chips.
And for single rides, some of Metro systems still use these steampunk brass tokens. Sometimes, less authentic plastic.

and every transportation system that pretends to run as a profit center and not a cost center also makes ton of money for the vendors.
