How much did they spend on this "metcard" thingy since the introduction?
I would said the figure should be approaching 1 billion $ if you
included the repairing, salaries for inspectors, loss revenues due to
validators/ticket machine break down etc.

If they scarp it what would they replace the system with?? good old
conductors?
