Some other public transport Smart Cards for interest

London Oyster Card

Pay as you go has several advantages over paper tickets:

    * Oyster single fares are generally cheaper
    * Credit can be used as you need it and doesn't expire
    * Daily price capping automatically calculates the cheapest fare for the journeys you make in a single day

Our aim is to ensure that Oyster always charges the lowest fare. Where it doesn't, we will refund the difference.

Perth SmartRider

DayRider fare cap

SmartRider will always calculate the lowest fare available to you.

For example, if your fare would normally exceed the cost of your discounted DayRider fare, SmartRider will automatically cap your fare at the DayRider rate provided you meet the DayRider time of travel requirements.

Translink Go Card

• We believe that you should pay for the convieniance of having to call us up to rectify problems that should not there.
• In many cases your Go card will cost you more then a standard paper ticket because this is what the Queensland public deserve after years of setbacks.
• We could not be bothered programming anything remotely smart into the system so you can use what we whipped up without regard
• The trial that we did was a sham and all suggestions were promptly shredded and then burned
