Bus Passes

[R879 HRF]

RE: Bus Passes
A notice on the board in Stagecoach Birkenhead depot says we must scan all concess passes as Merseytravel have changed how they manage revenue and only pay out for passes scanned.

We are told to enter any card that doesn't work on the reader (if bent or cracked they can stop working, and/or data on the card becomes corrupt).

All the Cheshire disabled cards have to be entered manually however as for some reason they all come up as a stored value card prompting the destination and balance when placed on the reader. Strange!

Its also recently emerged that if walrus cards come into contact with certain mobile phones, it can wipe the card clean (in the same way it can happen with hotel room cards) . So ALWAYS keep the receipt!!
