[Tagging] Vending: Cards for Prepaid mobile phone

[Arlindo Pereira]

I like the topup=* tag, and would suggest adding topup=transit_card. Here
in Rio de Janeiro you can topup the transit card (RioCard) in ATMs in
subway stations, and in several places (drugstores, bakeries, supermarkets
and so on) with the checkout operator.

Cheers,
Arlindo
