BUS CARDS * UK - Bus fares swipe card plan

Preston,England,UK -Lancashire Evening Post -21 February 2008: -- Buses across Preston are to be fitted with swipe card readers in a bid to slash journey times and get more people on to public transport... The machines are expected to be installed on Preston Bus, Stagecoach and Fishwick and Sons buses... Passengers will be able to buy swipe cards which can be topped up with credits in the same way as mobile phones. Once on the bus, ticket machines will allow passengers to simply swipe their card to pay for their journey.The move, part of the European Union-funded CIVITAS scheme, is aimed at making buses faster and at ending complaints over drivers not having the right change, which leads to passengers being overcharged...
