yesterday and this morning they stopped everyone and made them put the ticket in the machine before they let anyone through. The queue was getting larger and people were getting more irate, myself included at this. We knew our tickets didn't work in the machines but they refused to let anyone who had an annual ticket through without seeing it for themselves.
What make me even more annoyed is that I got a new ticket on monday
I walked from the taxsaver office and placed it in the machine in connolly and it failed first time... it was no near any magnetic material between the office and the ticket validator...it has not worked since... ticket no 5!
Did someone get bribed to put this system into place? or is it the new strategy to annoy commuters further... has this system works successfully in any other country?
