Should the remaining paper single tickets be removed?

[SurfRail]

Credit cards have certainly been limited until just recently, but I don't understand the comments being made about EFTPOS.  I always use EFTPOS to top up my card, and always have.  (As with some others I prefer to have as few deductions being made from my account as possible.

It does appears to have a problem doing it for values above $100.00, so I just run it through twice at $100.00 (I just put on $200 a fortnight, roughly, and go from there).

right so the solution to avoiding delays is to create delays by making people do multiple transactions? once again doesn't make sense to me sorry

No, the solution is to allow EFTPOS top-ups to any of the denominations permitted.  I'm not sure what the problem is, but it is one that can be fixed.  In any event the vast majority of people would never have even close to $200 on their card, and this is not relevant to paper tickets at all given the most expensive one costs about 7-8 times less.

Makes perfect sense.  If you use paper you need to do many times the transactions.

Auto top up also works fine.

Your argument makes no sense, and is irrelevant to the topic at hand!

I don't see the big deal.

My bus driver said to some cash passengers the other day a little spiel about go card, good customer service.

At the very most more peak hour services could become prepay but cash as a backup doesn't bother me for singles (yet).

You don't see the big deal?  Slowing down buses while overcharging a number of people, even if they are inconsiderate luddites, seems to have a couple of problems.

There isn't much scope for increasing the number of prepaid routes.

whats your credit card number please so I can use auto top up. Thanks.

^ You don't have a credit card or Visa access?  That'd be a real pain.

Or is that not what you are saying, perhaps, and yet again you are attempting to block progress for no reason.  Remember when you were bashing DOO a few months back?

Just get visa debit. Anyone over 18 can.

except the issue is i don't trust the security.  perhaps it comes from having a partner who works in data security and how easy it is often to get that information.

nope and why would it be a real pain? I've coped just fine without it for years.

Are you a person who just thinks everyone should agree with you and do things your way?  thats just as a legitimate question as the one you asked me!

[somebody]

There's some things which are hard to pay for without a credit card.  I guess it's decreasing, but it used to be almost impossible to fly without a credit card.  Getting internet without a credit card would be a pain also.

No, I don't expect everyone to agree with me, but when I offer valid supporting arguments, I consider it disrespectful for nonsense to be thrown back.

If you want to avoid using auto top up, you are free to put money on your card in other ways.  It's your choice.  I don't see how any of this is an obstacle to removing stupid paper tickets!

Neither do I
If you are worried about having no go card funds, just whack $50 on each time and forget about it for a few weeks.
