Noted today on a 16 (conductor, no ATMs):
Woman with unvalidated MetCard: "I just bought it."
The conductor let it pass - so he obviously didn't know about unvalidated
MetCards not being valid on MetCard services - or he didn't care.

Also noted a PTC spruiker at the Elizabeth Street entrance to Flinders St,
shouting into a PA about which gate to go through with which ticket (paper or
MetCard) !
