Metcard Revisited...

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

Hi,

Two weeks ago I purchased my first monthly Metcard. Up until then I had 
been buying weeklies. Of using Metcard for approximately 12 months now 
(When Glenroy was premiumised, and converted to Metcard) I have had two 
failed Metcards. As of last Sunday, my monthly Metcard failed. After having 
this week off extremely sick, I haven't been able to guage many reactions 
from staff about not validating, however, having encountered one ticket 
inspector with it, there did not seem to be any problems. He scanned it 
through his portable ticket reader three times, obviously not able to get 
it right the first and second, but gave the ticket back and said "thank 
you, have a nice day".

I would say Metcard isn't evil, but it has still robbed the jobs of many, 
and convenience/service to many more, in it's implementation, so I still 
have no choice but to say, it's still evil.

Regards
Michael
