Snapper card / August 2008

June 2009 | July 2008
    • Snip Snap: Sardines, Oysters, Snappers … and Tagging
      • It’s hard to imagine the joy I felt this morning catching the bus to work and finally seeing someone else actually using a Snapper Card. I had been quietly trying to convince myself that the seemingly slow uptake of this local version of London’s Oyster card was due to unspent currency of 10-ride bus tickets - but alas there always seemed to be too much hard cash being exchanged between driver and passenger to validate this one.

    • snapped? (wha)
      • It's been a couple weeks since we last checked in on Snapper. The Snapper rollout has continued apace, and some of us haven't used our old ten-trips for two whole weeks! (Well, we were excited about this, anyway.) More and more people are boarding buses armed with the cards; and more and more buses (and their drivers) are ready to take them. And in the meantime we've learnt many things.
