Sophisticated technology would not only consign the paper ticket to history, but would also make redundant, touch-in-touch-out cards, such as the Oyster used in London. Instead passengers would board buses and trains equipped with readers which capable of monitoring their journey from the tags and charging them the correct fare automatically.
"It will make using public transport much faster,' said Jeremy Acklam one of the authors of the research. "The technology would reduce boarding time on buses," he added. The electronic tag could be fitted as a chip on a plastic card - which would remain in the passenger's pocket - or be embedded into a mobile phone.
After of course everyone gets used to the 'oh so convenient chip in their phone' which allows them to pay for their transport tickets there will come the reasoning, "WHY DON'T WE JUST EMBED THE CHIP IN YOUR BODY" like we do with cats or dogs and then it will 'be so convenient' for you to TRAVEL, BANK, SHOP, MOVE BETWEEN EU COUNTRIES and OF COURSE THE NATIONAL POLICE WILL BE ABLE TO TRACK YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE. They won't of course tell you that if you are a TROUBLEMAKER, or run a BLOG that doesn't suit their politics, THEN YOUR CHIP WILL BE SHUT DOWN. That of course will mean that you aren't able to TRAVEL, BANK, SHOP, MOVE BETWEEN EU COUNTRIES but of course the NATIONAL POLICE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO TRACK YOU!
Not for me thanks. But then again I don't have any children. I or mine won't be affected by the NEW WORLD ORDER. WILL YOURS? My ancestors didn't die fighting for my freedoms to let the EU or the NWO or TECHNOLOGY, enslave me now!

They can %^&* right off, DL!
"Not for me thanks. But then again I don't have any children. "; likewise, thank fuck.
The idea that my old London Transport Red Rover bus pass could be used to track my movements as a child and teenager is quite horrifying; if Londoners initially fall for this then they deerve all they get,wankers. How are tourists, kids bunking off school and terrorists supposed to be able to get around ?
Spidey you're *^$%&*& right. BTW there's no point in thinking the word and not saying it as I always tell my mother-in-law! So fucking speak up! ;-)
Banned, exactly. But I'll tell you who it won't bother and that will be terrorists. If they can invent bombs they can kid on they're tourists and pay cash, meanwhile the law abiding citizens are monitored.
Back in the good old days I once used my London Transport pass to get free entry into the Paris Air Show.
David, there's a certain EPL football manager who's been using his to get a good seeing to in a massage parlour!
I have a pay as you go Oyster card but they haven't got my details as I bought it and top it up with cash.
All Oyster cards maintain a list of around one hundred of your last journeys. Tie this up with your payment card and they know where you went and when.
Oyster cards are around half the cash bus fare price so the incentive to have one is huge and increasingly, buses will not take cash.
They've got you - nice.
Headson, well done for buying it with cash. Don't let the bastards trace you and you won't get in trouble.
