I think that you should be allowed unlimited tram journeys within the
seventy minutes and not just two as it would solve the problem of trams going out of service at a stroke. Or how about just saying that if you touch in for a bus or tram journey within 60 minutes (or whatever) of touching in for another bus journey, the next one is free and the clock restarts. A discount on the first bus journey if you touched out of a Tube journey a specified time (15 minutes?) beforehand would also be good. My comment addressed what seemed to me to be an unnecessary flaw in the current arrangement that can unnecessarily penalise or inconvenience those needing to change trams on their journey. It seems that it ought to be possible to tweak things with negligible effect on revenue. It seems to me the present arrangement on the trams is really just so they can implement the combined feeder bus and tram journeys, and the combined tram journeys is just a bonus. I totally agree with your suggestion. It seems to me that it would benefit more people, it would be more robust, and it actually sounds like it should be easier to implement than what they do now on the trams and feeder buses. We should not penalise people because of slow services or because thye have to change a lot. We also shouldn't penalise people for multimodal journeys, as such things are an integral part of an integrated public transport network. Absolutely, and also when services have to be terminated short for whatever reason the passengers really shouldn't have to worry about whether they are getting double charged or not. The system should consider such things as normal events, not exceptional circumstances. |
