All this electronic rubbish is just that, RUBBISH.
GET RID OF IT MERSEYTRAVEL.

Resorting to paper tickets is never going to happen as, in so many aspects of life, technology IS the way forward. How many of us would give up our smart phones or ipads and start buying/relying on newspapers or books to service our needs? No, the fundamental problem is cost. Last week I read that London receives 24 times the amount of public money than the north west does for public transport initiatives. Merseytravel has a very limited budget and has to live within it, unlike TfL.
