This is just a moan so chose to ignore if you want to.
On Friday last, I went to the business-hours Taxsaver Office at Connolly Station. I have an Annual Bus/Rail/DART taxsaver ticket. For months now, it has been refused by both rail and bus validators. I accepted this over time and generally just flagged it past the ticket vendor / driver when necessary.
On Friday I had an opportunity to change it at last. I was treated fairly and quickly by the staff there who asked no questions and made it very easy to swap my broken ticket for a new one. It worked on the bus on the way home and then stopped working entirely: both rail and bus validators refusing it.
I know that one is supposed to keep it away from other magnetic devices (because that is really easy these days!) but it worked once. I'm sick of this. I refuse to accept that this magnetic strip is this sensitive. Please please please please please can we have smart card(s) for this type of taxsaver ticket? Please?
