CharlieCards v.v. Oyster (and Octopus?)
In message , at 12:26:40 on Sat, 21 Jan
2012, Graeme Wall remarked: It means that customers have to acquire a new smartcard (electronic purse or ticket wallet) for every different application. I know that in theory there are "multi-product" cards, but I don't know of any examples in the wild, and whether for example trying to load a bus pass onto a library ticket is going to fall foul of red tape at the bus depot or library. My bus-pass is also my library card and works fine in both. Other council "products" not relevant to me can also be loaded on it. Yes, it wasn't a very well chosen example, as there are some combined municipal buses and libraries (although I'm registered with a Notts County library not a Notts City Library, oh the joys of living close to a unitary authority). But I don't think I could load my Notts County library card onto my Notts City bus card). -- Roland Perry |
