Oyster and oneday Travelcards -- when?
"Gareth Davis" wrote in message om... "Ben Nunn" wrote in message ... Capping needs to be introduced, and it needs to be smart and effective. The £90/50 Prepay limit needs to be abolished and the 'nominate a specific station to pick up your credit' thing must go. Also, a Non-prepay Pay-as-you-go that bills your credit/debit card would also be far better than having to add value to the card periodically. Performing all the calculations required to get the 'instant' capping to work (based on your last few journies) in the time you have your card over the reader then to write back the refund to the card while it is still in range is a non-trivial exercise - and is limited by the length of the journey record kept on the card. This record needs to hold every journey over the capping period for the calculation to be correct. This seems like poor design to me - surely all the card needs to contain is a unique ID, and all the other information could be contained within a centralised database? BTN |
