Presumably be allowed to travel free. The incentive of course is for
it not to go down.

storing someone's season ticket on a network server is a dumb thing

to do.

Why?

And what about the percentage of the population that doesn't have a
credit/debit card


Buy single use barcoded tickets? Pay by phone? (Very few people now
don't have even a basic mobile).

And what about non local journeys?


I expect predominantly online tickets of various types.
