Oyster System to become national by default. Is this a cunning plot- shock horror
"Andrew" wrote in message . uk... jonmorris wrote: If commuter services are moved to a zone based pricing system and Oyster, or a proper international standard system, is introduced throughout the southeast, it's a start. If things are done properly, it should be relatively easy to update the hardware to accept other types of card in the future so we're not stuck with something completely non-standard (as Oyster appears to be). If installed everywhere, non-standard becomes the standard and everyone has to adapt. Why not start introducing Oyster card systems to other cities and urban areas with large bus and train movements? That would simply copy the current London setup and allow the pricing to be worked out nationally with further spread into the rural areas for the services that run between the smaller towns etc. Nick -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
