| Comment | That's what the tap and cap system is eventually meant to achieve. A physical transport card that you top up would be nice, but I think we're soooo far behind now that that's not worth doing. Sounds like that is being skipped entirely and tap and cap is how it is being delivered.
At first it will just be the buses (which if it involves all Glasgow operators will be a win by itself). I expect the subway could be rolled into it relatively quickly.
Trains might take longer, as a standalone and seperate pricing regime would need to be planned out that applies for journeys made inside Glasgow, on train lines that start and end well outside of Glasgow boundaries. Bit more complicated, and a bit more political, as it would involve having a hard, comprehensive look at how this fits with wider railway pricing and funding in Scotland more generally. |
