Issuing Tickets For Concessionary Fares
Issuing Tickets For Concessionary Fares
Does anybody know why a ticket is still issued when a concessionary or disabled card is used?
I know for example, Stanley Travel don't issue tickets but why do the big 3 issue tickets? Surely in the age of contactless key cards there must be a way of registering a card without issuing a needless ticket?

the pensioners' smartcard doesn't record on itself that it's been used. SO, should an inspector board the bus, even if he has a handheld card reader, he'll not know if the card has been presented to the ticket machine unless the pensioner has a piece of paper.

Eezy, would it being used record on the system which GNE could then use as proof?
For example, you can log into keycard and view all of your recent journeys (where boarded, time etc)
And if they don't register, how do Stanley Travel get away with not issuing a ticket?

I suppose a receipt is written proof of how much you are charged in total.
(15 Apr 2014, 4:38 pm)eezypeazy Perhaps it does the adding up for the driver... saves trying to do the mental maths...???

(15 Apr 2014, 5:34 pm)Andreos Constantopolous Aye, but the two or three tickets you have just bought have the prices on regardless.
Just seems a bit daft companies are introducing smartcard technology, reducing the paper they use - but are adding receipts to bus tickets.
Never had one last weekend - but did today.

The ones on the weekend, were bought together, but issued separately.
The ones today, were ran through together as one - which meant, the two fares plus the receipt came as one long ticket.
