Sorry I was meaning to say this must be happening very soon as apposed to not having any idea when its gonna happen!!!

I was wondering what the fares would be. Was gonna say how would u know what ur fare is from Gildersome to Leeds. More logic to use for day tickets, weekly and monthly. Would be interesting to see how many people twig on this. People who benifits will be those that never have change for the fare but argue they need to get that bus!!!!!! That will save me goin to the cash machine on a monday morning and run to the shop for change at 5.15 before the bus comes at 5.20!

Gaz: you need to plan better, sort your bus fare out in the pub on Sunday night don't leave it to the last minute on a Monday morning. The cash machine might be Out of Service very few pubs run out of Beer!!!!!!!

With the cost of the ticket being on your phone bill, you can have an extra pint or two and not worry about not having enough for your bus fare. Result!!

From the FAQ section of the Arriva website.

Q – Can the system be operated using a Blackberry or iPhone?
A – Not at the moment. We expect both of these to be integrated as we extend the technology. We will let you know when this becomes available.
