‘Oyster card’ ticket system for city in crises...

LONDON have had their Oyster card for years, Labour Manchester too embarrassed to ask London how its done? Five years or more ago I installed telephone lines into a post office building ready for the Oyster card system – who’s been paying for them? Les Wall

WHAT’S wrong with the Oyster system which is currently successful in London? Why do they feel the need to spend millions on reinventing the wheel? Julie Woolley

I DON’T see how it’s embarrassing for the council or the government – it’s embarrassing for Atos. This is now the second major contract Atos has been unable to fulfil and it should not be used ever again for public services. Ben Higson

NORTHERN powerhouse. Lol! The biggest con ever to get people in the north to vote for a political party. We all know it’s now unraveling right before our eyes. Garry Paul Hanna Campbell

IT is not funny – ATOS fails but how much of the taxpayers’ money did they waste, and how much will it cost to put things right? Andrew Moss

UNFORTUNATELY yet again TfGM is taking no responsibility for employing a below par contractor while steadily increasing fares in line with the capital... always the victim, it’s never their fault. Daniel Smith

GOOD news. Oyster cards are a nightmare if you aren’t local and the shops are closed. Would rather pay cash or a weekly saver. Craig Bolton

THE one’s they put in for concessionary passes are rubbish – after using them your pass won’t work on first bus Geoff Jones
