RE: MPTE Walrus Smart Card
I prefer the old fashion method of buying my ticket on the Bus/ At a staffed Railway station, Ido agree that the Scratch of Saveaways where not ideal (i can recall watching someone de-face it on a Bus) but i dont think these *smart* Cards are the way forward, their more trouble than its worth and the Cards are clearly faulty, OAP Passes also seem very easy to break as well, Adding onto that i also feel that the *smart* Cards are being used as another way of getting money from Passengers as they charge you to get the Card activated...

Ok a little of topic but am going to also mention this Phone Tickets, again i have seen a number of posts on Arriva's Facebook Page about updates ruining the system, Also what happens if you out and you break your phone or the Battery dies, how are you meant to show your ticket then? Again i dont feel this is the way forward either.
