Once upon a time the NSW Government promised a T-card. The card would cover all forms of public transport in the state and simplify our travel. The T-card would be fully operational in time for the Sydney Olympic Games.
Do you remember the Sydney Olympic Games? They were held in 2000, nine years ago and without a T-card in sight. In the meantime the T-card disappeared without trace bar for an ongoing $250,000,000 law suit that is keeping lawyers in the luxury to which they have become accustomed.
Now the NSW Government is having a second go at introducing a T-Card and this time they solemnly inform us there will no delays. Who believes that?
I think they should name this version the F-Card. F for Fantasyland.
Ah, your gov squibbed it. Take a leaf from Victoria. We just keep throwing millions and millions at it and eventually we about to get something that may almost work, or may not.
ReplyDeleteWe have the Go Card in brisbane... i love it. it means never having to talk to a cranky bus driver ever again. Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh.. and if brisbane being the "big country town" can get the go card up and running before sydney... i worry about sydney's ability to do anything,
ReplyDeleteBased on your feelings about the T-Card so far, I thought the "F" was going to stand for something more vile. :-)
