- All tickets to be purchased on app (with all operator unique & multi modal tickets made available)

OR

- Ticket machines with QR code which is scanned on boarding


So currently......a fully loaded decker out of ES or Haymarket can easily take 15 minutes to load and process passengers. All passengers pre-paid when boarding could load a full decker in 5 minutes and in many instances, around 3 minutes. Would save all the costs associated with delays and.....would even encourage app usage to avoid queues at ticket machines.

It's possible: https://www.ticketer.com/en/press-articl...ticketing/

But very much like tap on/tap off, which would save customers money, there seems to be a lack of willingness to quickly move to the technology.
