It’s amazing what a well worded email to a government agency, copied to their Minister’s office, can do.
6mths of #SmartRider problems at Leederville Station, with a single validator failing to read over 50% of cards.
3x calls to PTA Comment Line over 6mths, nothing done to fix.
One email to the agency, copied to the Minister’s office - three of the five validators (just not the faulty one) have been upgraded.
Small wins.

@danielbowen We have a car-reliant culture Australia-wide, but it's good to see we've developed a culture of catching public transport for big events.
Do the swifties ride for free? I'm in #Perth and we always have free public transport for event ticket holders, do our other cities do this? #TransPerth #SmartRider
