Default Transport Committee's view on "wave and pay"

The (widely reported) executive summary is quite polite given that the full
report is rather damming, if not on the idea itself certainly on the (lack
of) process for justifying it.

Personally, I see a full report that just confirms my original view that
this is nothing more than a vanity project for the people involved in
managing it.

What a pity my taxes paying for it.


Oddly I was pondering on this coming development a few days ago and
thinking about just how much of a revolution in ticketing I imagine
it'll likely be (well, maybe "revolution" is a bit strong - it's an
overused and abused word anyway - let's say a "step-change") - in
other words a take on it all that's almost the polar opposite of
yours. Haven't read the aforementioned report, not even the exec
summary, yet - I'll take a look at it.
