Smart Card * UK - New technology on Midlands buses

Birmingham,West Midlands,UK -The Birmingham Mail -Nov 4, 2010: -- The completion of a £14 million project to install Smartcard technology on Midlands buses was marked by local transport minister Norman Baker... Over 2,500 buses have been fitted with card readers by transport authority Centro, paving the way for a local version of London’s electronic Oyster Card system... At the moment only passengers with microchip-fitted concessionary travel passes will be able to use the readers, but travel bosses hope smart ticketing for all will be just around the corner. Mr Baker was given a demonstration of the new system yesterday, where passengers touch the readers with their cards when boarding the bus... (Photo from networkwestmidlands: SMARTCARD)
