Well, duh. Snapper have realised that these voice alerts are kind of annoying and/or unnecessary; and that we as public transport users have learned how the magical fish box works, so they're updating the Snapper sounds. Here's a handy table of the changes: snapper transport blogs featured Wed, 07 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/please-dont-forget-to-tag-off-finally-tags-off The Wellingtonista 2010-04-07T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/the-smartest-snapper Voted by you the public as winner in the smarten your snapper competition is wave by Yana from Chromatophobic. art snapper transport blogs featured Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/the-smartest-snapper The Wellingtonista 2009-10-22T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/smarten-your-snapper-voting-starts finally here they are. the top 15 finalists in the Smarten your snapper Competition as chosen by our panel of delightful judges, and you can now vote for the ultimate winner   read more snapper art transport blogs featured Mon, 14 Sep 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/smarten-your-snapper-voting-starts The Wellingtonista 2009-09-14T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/smarten-yer-snapper Craft 2.0 are running the Smarten Your Snapper competition.

We worked through its teething troubles and are now happily tagging on and off as we bus about the city. So when Miki Szikszai, CEO of Snapper, asked us if we'd like to visit Snapper HQ and learn a bit about what's new in the world of the magical talking fish box, we (well, Alan and I) jumped at the chance. snapper transport blogs featured Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/the-wellingtonista-visits-snapper The Wellingtonista 2009-06-22T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/snapper-re-visited It's been a long time since we've mentioned Snapper in these pages. In the meantime it's become so much of an everyday part of life in Wellington now that it hardly seems worth mentioning anymore. Or is it? Recently we got an email from Snapper asking us if we'd like to come and see what they're up to. It seems they've had a few other things on the go as well as the recent Valley Flyer conversion snapper fares transport blogs featured Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/snapper-re-visited The Wellingtonista 2009-06-17T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/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. snapper fares transport blogs featured Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/snapped-wha The Wellingtonista 2008-08-09T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/snapped-toru Today, reader DaveK let us know that Snapper cards have finally gone on sale at a couple of retailers in town, at least. They're also available, along with the card readers that allow WinIE types to do refills at home, from the Snapper website. snapper transport blogs featured Tue, 22 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/snapped-toru The Wellingtonista 2008-07-22T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/snapped-rua So we can confirm that yes, the new Snapper cards do work pretty well in the buses (based on the small sample of one attempt earlier today using our trial USB snapper pictured). snapper transport blogs featured Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/snapped-rua The Wellingtonista 2008-07-15T00:00:00Z http://wellingtonista.com/snapped So maybe it's been easy to escape, but next week the new Snapper cards come into circulation. snapper transport blogs featured Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://wellingtonista.com/snapped The Wellingtonista 2008-07-07T00:00:00Z
