1306898 2012-10-15 01:40:00 Seems like its a bit tricky to get a ticket on the trains, and even harder trying to get a passenger on.
Not to worry too much though, the train you just missed was yesterday's, today's won't be along until tomorrow night.
It may have been a mistake to accept the ticket machine supply tender from the MTA, even if it was far lower than the others ;)

That one's inside a construction site at the moment, could be to do with that...


even harder trying to get a passenger on.

Ten million trips a year and you say it's hard? ;)

1306900 2012-10-15 03:40:00 Why aren't the screens at eye level so you can read them easily?
Why are the buttons silver on light grey on a white background so you can hardly read them even in good light?
Why is the station choice navigation such a nightmare?
Why isn't there a payment option that specifically says "Gold Card"?
Why can't I use a gold card on an eftpos only machine?
What is going to happen when they stop issuing tickets on the train if a machine breaks down?
Aaaargh!

Because it's a govt dept system.

Question for Akld Council:

Why can't your system send me a rates bill even though I am in credit?

They can't answer that one, suffice to repeat that the system can't and I should stop paying and go into debit and then it will.

Not that I use the train that often, but when I do, its good. Tony (4941)
1306902 2012-10-15 10:22:00 . . . Ten million trips a year and you say it's hard? ;)
Ten million trips every year? Disgusting . They should really do something about those stairs ;)

To be equally fair, none of the North Shore trains have been late even once this year. ;)

Bicycles are handling the load too, similar comfort to the trains, but just that little bit faster on long trips. ;)
