I wonder to what extent the division of jurisdiction contributes to this.
The Bay Area is the classic example of this, where BART, Muni, SamTrans, VTA, ACTransit, Golden Gate Transit, Contra Costa Transit, ACE, Caltrain, multiple ferry companies, and, to some extent, even Amtrak California all provide transit in the region. Not too mention all the Facebook/Google/whatever buses and The Marguerite and Bear Transit and I'm sure other schools also have bus systems. At least they all take the same fare card nowadays.
