Cool. Are they going to have a Cod card or a Haddock card for
Scotland,
I wonder? ...


Seattle (US) has an Orca card.

San Francisco has a Clipper card, The logo is a pattern of triangles
that sort of resembles a square rigged ship.

Evidently it's a trend.


.... and Boston has the Charlie card - principally a nod to 'Charlie on the
MTA', and so surely the only transport ticket named after a protest song
prompted by a fare rise, but also presumably a reference to the Charles
River
