TfL acknowledges contactless technology risk
"Mizter T" wrote in message ... On 26/06/2014 15:52, wrote: [...] The big gain is not having to visit a ticket office or ticket machine. e-Tickets and Print-at-Home do that too. If you've seen the ticket office/machine queues at Cambridge at times (Saturday morning is often worst) you'd see why such options are needed. For the avoidance of talking at cross purposes, you're referring to being able to use a CPC to directly pay for your journey (i.e. using it to touch-in at the start, and touch-out at the end) That is what most people here mean when they ask "are other transport operators looking to use contactless cards". They aren't the slightest bit interested in its use at the TO to pay for a paper ticket, anymore than at the cafe to pay for a coffee or the book stall to pay for a newspaper. These things are routine now. Of course, there is the half solution of using contactless to pay for ticketed bus travel that may be of interest, but the reason for that is because it isn't usual for pax to be able to pay for bus travel with a credit/debit card at all at the moment(though I did once buy a 7 day ticket with a cheque!) tim |
