Tokens? REally?

Speaking of the subway, why do the turnstiles still say NO TOKENS? Haven't tokens been obsolete for almost a decade now? Who the fuck are these messages for? Who's showing up at the train these days "what the...no tokens?? when the fuck did THIS happen?" I guess it would be like if after I had sampled her delights, a lady of the bon soir casually mentioned to me "hey, no farthings" as I started to pay. Wtf.
