New and Improved EasyPayXpress...?

So after waiting two weeks for my replacement MetroCard, I opened it and was a bit surprised. The colour of my new MetroCard was blue, which I thought was quite nice and sort of a shakeup from the brown (almost gold-ish) colour of my previous MetroCard.

However, as I was detaching the MetroCard from the letter, I saw this other notice that was in the envelope:

Ok, so:
New Look? Check.
Same Great Benefits? I guess.
Web Address and Phone Number at your fingertips?

Wait a second.....

Lets check the metrocard graveyard for a second

But doesn't the old card have that too?
I'm Confused.

Here's the verdict:
The new Colour Scheme is very nice. cool and good. However, trying to justify it using features already present on the old card, not helpful and not necessary.
