Just a bit of information... I trialled that failure. Merseytravel claimed that all drivers at Avon Buses and Cumfybus, who participated in the trail, knew about it - which they never. I used it three times and, after the third, I gave-up because it was embarrassing to use (explaining myself every time and being asked if it was a forged card, etc..., in front of a load of passengers who were waiting to get to their destination). I had problems with the card itself, such as it being "VOID" on the ETMs on-board buses. I gave-in my feedback to them but I suppose that they're only interested in the positive feedback, as usual, because I've had no further feedback from them...!

I'll be sticking to operator-only tickets when possible in the future!
