Card Failures

[#Metro]

Witnessed something very unusual today.

Passenger boarded bus and swiped- go card in hand, with nothing else nearby. No response.
Tried again. No response.
Another passenger tried to assist. No response

Other passengers boarded- all their cards all worked. Bus driver had to give the guy a free ride.

Some GoCards don't work!

Was it a concession GoCard?

It was the green one- I think that is the concession one.

I have seen that happen the odd time, always on buses mind you.

That reminds me, must add new statistic to my sig !!

Failed GoCards

[WTN]

I've seen it happen at least twice before.

[#Metro]

So there must be quite a few dead go cards on the system...

Though I find faulty go card equipment far more often than faulty go cards.
