You can get 1-trip or 2-trip tickets, where one trip is the 2-hour transfer window. You can also get day passes. The ticket works with the tap points; you tap just as you would with a card.
For this reason, I don't think paper tickets are a stumbling block for GRT requirements.
Now they do, but that wasn't an option when EasyGO was being tendered.
This is such a ridiculous argument. Paper tickets do not matter. And if we wanted paper tickets presto does not prevent us using paper tickets. We did so with easygo as well, and I don’t mean the ones easygo prints I mean we accepted oldschool paper tickets while also accepting easygo. So does London.
And if you say “well it’s not part of presto then” sure, but arguing we should maintain our own entire payment care system to avoid maintaining our own paper ticket system alongside presto is missing the point.
