Public transport payment revolution could roll out around the country. Are you in favour?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from Upper Hutt Leader

A debit or credit card may soon be all you need to travel on buses, trains and ferries across the country - unless you are in Auckland.
Greater Wellington Regional Council is looking for an operator for the new system, which could arrive in Wellington as soon as 2020. Each time you jump on public transport around the nation, you would swipe your credit or debit card and be charged the most cost-effective fare. What do you think? Would this be better than our current system? Why? Comments may be used in print unless stated otherwise with NFP (Not For Print)
