[elearning] Untranet Platform. (Off topic a little}

[Roland Gesthuizen]

>From what I have read, the technical problem with the MyKi is not software
based but more to do with canyoning as the units on trams and busses
struggle to get a good signal. It does make me wonder why they don't just
cache all the requests in the box and just upload and reconcile later as
the train, tram or bus rattles back into range. If somebody gets a free
ride and a small temp debit, they would have to clear it anyway to use the
card the following day or as with mine, gets automatically topped up
overnight.

I loved using the Oyster card in the UK and believe that this is the way to
go. My guess is that there are going to be tweaks and adjustments as we
work this all out and move onto more pressing problems. My son has a card
and doesn't have to keep begging me for spare change to get to and from
school. Priceless.

Regards Roland

PS: I also believe that anybody who cannot legally drive a car should be
able to access free public transport
