Klaudia (aka jinxx)Orrr, #WienerLinien ... Verlängerung der #Öffi-Jahreskarte kommt mit der Aufforderung, auf die digitale Karte umzusteigen, um Plastikmüll zu vermeiden. *schielt auf ihre Jahre alte noch immer funktionierende #OysterCard und die GLS-Bank, die Holzkarten ausgibt* Natürlich kann man die Verantwortung für das eigene Versagen, ein #nachhaltig.es System aufzubauen, auch auf die Kund:innen abwälzen. Das dann mit einem #Appzwang zu koppeln, wo die App Daten an Google & Facebook weitergibt ... just nope.
pascodaIf you were my #Oystercard , where would you be hiding in between trips to London? 🤔

Das ist ja ein krass innovatives Konzept!

Habe ich 2014 gedacht, als ich zum ersten Mal mit der #Oystercard durch London gefahren bin. 😂
JdeBPInteresting way to travel. Are there special Mastodon spaces in the railway station car park? Ride and park, as it were?
Or does it make its own way home?

Pauline von HellermannThe whole #VoterID roll out here in the #UK, approved by parliament and already in place at the #LocalElections is absolutely scandalous, and it feels like people are not even aware. We have no universal ID scheme here; instead, you can use your passport, driving licence (who has those? not the poorest), or your OVER 60 OYSTER CARD, but NOT the young person's #OysterCard! This is so obviously designed to aid #Tories. We need much, much more outrage about this
Keith WilsonLong term, they should consider moving to a pay-as-you-go system like the London #OysterCard where you swipe in and out on each leg of your journey and the system gives you the best overall price.
But that requires a lot of expensive infrastructure, and most residents have season tickets anyway, so there’s something to to be said for the simplicity of a flat-rate system—particularly if the rate were zero. (h/t @JoeGrowling)
Richard Peat Every so often the #OysterCard you can use across the country comes up again. This time it’s alongside simplifying fare structures by doing away with discounted return fares.
Truth is that we’ve had the technology to do a countrywide #OysterCard scheme for years - there are smart card readers on the remotest Scottish railway stations, and everyone uses the #ITSO standard for transport smart cards, but the competing transport companies resist interoperability.
