Re: New logic on Metcard

["Michael" <mk@netstra.com.au>]

Not revalidating is not fare evasion. Once a ticket is first validated, it
has an expiry time/date printed on it. There is no real reason as to why
people should revalidate, other than to annoy them and force them away from
public transport, after all, we have a CityLink we need to feed.
