And they wonder why it’s no one’s first choice! One shortish journey, tram and train. No way to buy an integrated ticket so I use both providers apps on my phone.
App 1 requires you to buy in advance then activate the ticket when you need it. App 2 requires you to buy ticket only when ready to travel as it activates automatically. Needless to say with App 1 in mind I accidentally bought in advance and had to ring for a refund.
How hard would it be to standardise on a process given both are local services? Bunch of morons acting in isolation.

I’d rather sit in my car in traffic for an hour than spend 20 mins jammed into a train with the general public!
You are not wrong. It’s a shambles. Our oyster equivalent is years away. Once they’ve had 200 meetings about pandering to all the stakeholders and coming up with a compromise that no one likes, least of all the poor customer.Originally Posted by draftsmann
Thankfully I’m off to collect a car 😀 No more of this if I can help it!
Maybe but the pricing is not cheap or simple. More a case of a market with very few alternatives.
Agree the payment options are seamless in London, and it is really the only way to travel. But give me a car any day over public transport. Privacy, Air Con, Radio, Telephone. Whatever else you could need.
