NESTI / North East Smart Ticketing
(18 Jan 2016, 9:08 pm)Andreos1 I wouldn't say it is that bad.
1000 people per month taking up the option, on a system that already accepts annual POP cards or Network Travel tickets which have been pre-paid.
Without knowing the percentage of passengers using just those two methods, I think the 0.02% line may be a little off the mark.
I do believe the roll-out has been hindered by bus operators not taking part in the scheme.
It would be interesting to compare like for like and see how what the take-up was for other smartcards was, two months after roll-out.
