1186509 2011-03-16 00:03:00 I *believe* the primary function of the Snapper card is to be a unified cross-regional cross-service provider public transport payment service.

The abilities to buy sandwiches etc with it is a tagged-on bonus.

I did pay for my Super card. It was called taxes.

Well no you don't pay for things with your Super card do you? You just show it to people and you get a discount. You actually pay for stuff *with* the snapper card, instead of eftpos/cash/WHY.

And no it doesn't work everywhere, but it's only just started being rolled out. I don't understand why it's being used with anything except public transport, but there you have it.

1186512 2011-03-16 00:23:00 In my wallet I have just four cards. 1 Drivers licence, 1 EFTPOS, 1 Super and 1 as entry to my local club that gets me through the door.

Methinks wallets are soon going to have to be as big as handbags for us blokes to accomodate the cards.

1186514 2011-03-16 00:36:00 Does not matter what you call it. You still have to carry it and at my age you can feel lucky to be able to walk around without an extra burden. Snorkbox (15764)
