Driver boycott * Australia - Delays Tcard once again
Sydney,Australia -The Sydney Morning Herald, by Jordan Baker -June 15, 2007: -- Sydney's troubled Tcard has hit a new crisis, with bus drivers pulling out of a trial a day after the head of the agency set up to deliver the project resigned... Drivers at Kingsgrove depot voted to boycott the only trial of the travel smart card on State Transit buses because they were sick of having to stop work to fix the ticket machine when it crashed... It had become a safety issue, said the divisional secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, Raul Baonza. One driver was so distracted by a Tcard machine that kept failing to print receipts he forgot to put on the handbrake and the bus rolled 10 metres into a council garden, he said.
