Hopes the TCard debacle might be settled by a meeting of the Public Transport Ticketing Corporation (PTTC) last Friday were dashed yesterday when a spokesperson for the PTTC confirmed it had met, but had not reached a decision.
NSW transport has bought 300 old magnetic stripe ticketing machines to replace the defunct Tcard system.
South Australia is following NSW and Victoria down the path of cashless smartcard ticketing for public transport, with AU$29 million laid out in its budget over three years to kick start the system.
The future of the troubled Tcard scheme will finally be decided in February, according to the body overseeing the project.
Tcard, or some variant of it, is again on the cards as the NSW government looks to its options for getting Sydney's electronic ticketing back on track.
