Oyster charging for journeys that don't happen
In message , David
Cantrell writes The failure mechanism would appear to be someone touching in, and then touching out on a gate but failing to go through the gate. So they are still "airside", and capable of catching a train somewhere. This is such a fundamental fraud vector that whoever designed the system to allow it (while penalising innocent passengers whose platform was changed at the last minute) should be hung out to dry. What do you suggest? Landside validators to confirm you've left the platform. Adding more complication and putting yet more of a burden on passengers who already struggle to use the damned system correctly is not a useful solution. Although I think it could be implemented without too much of a struggle for customers. They'd just have to know that if they abandoned a touch-in by touching out again that they could reset themselves to their earlier state with one simple swipe. -- Roland Perry |
