Hong Kong Airport Express (new line)

["Johann Fan" <yags@SPAMSUX.geocities.com>]

Dear all,

Just having read some news reports about Hong Kong's new Airport railway
which opened yesterday. I can see the same problems occuring as in the
Metcard system

Software problems causing :
accepting notes then refused to give change
refusing to accept notes (accepting coins only)
4 out of 13 ticket machines working
3 out of 5 smartcard value adding machines working

the transport corporation there has said that the problems will be fixed
within a few days (heard that before??)

The company that installed the smartcard system (ERG) is part of Onelink.
Not sure if they supplied the normal ticket machines. Seems like that the
Metcard system is not the only problem the company is having.

cheers
Johann
