Bus card warning

For those readers who are unaware, since December 5, Stagecoach buses have been using smartcard readers to process concessionary travel pass users.

Whilst at the Worthing council offices on Wednesday 7, I noticed a very large number of people complaining that their passes were not working. On being advised by council staff that they would have to apply for replacements (at a cost of £5) there were a number of disgruntled people.

Since nobody else appears to be issuing the warning, I will. These passes contain a magnetic thing which is read by the ticket machines.
