Smartcard readers at stations in Hampshire/Dorset?

Surely it's a tentative (and arguably over-optimistic) step towards what the Netherlands has - a national smart card which is valid for local transport anywhere in the country, Is it not more a case of "what the Netherlands might have one day, if they can get it to work, if Connexxion brings its ball back, if they (=the colonial imperialist aggressors) can install ticket gates or similar everywhere they will be needed, and if students don't make their own knock-offs"? or (at least) in the South East, but which won't make any real sense until lots of operators and areas are supporting it. Even without 'PAYG' train ticketing, you could still have some form of capping, whereby the (electronically deducted) bus journeys at either end of a Cambridge city centre - Southampton town centre journey were effectively 'refunded' when the train ticket was added to the smartcard. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
