They were using the same tech. Countrywide.

Its the same tech, but Nexus have went down the completely wrong avenue. It's Nexus that had the ability to define the specification for the Pop card app and Metro barriers. A clearer specification for both could have enabled better ticketing integration aligned with the tax payer funded equipment currently in use by bus operators today!
Because of decisions made years ago, I can download an app in West Yorkshire, use any bus and train by simply scanning a bar code at barriers and on bus and away I go, but in the north east I have to wait for a metro bod to look at my ticket on a phone before letting me through. It scans on the buses though! That 100% on Nexus
Why can't I buy a network one ticket on the pop app? it's absolutely insane
