Re: Metcard Concession Checks

In Melbourne there are lights either side of the person.  That way if you
go through the gate and there is a light on both sides of you then it is 
you.  Saves the PTC people working out whoes left the light is for.

The other validators work by one beep for full fare and two for Concession
there is a series of 7 beeps for a wrong ticket, expired, re-try etc.
