Sold out bus tickets leave us stranded

The new prepay only system introduced by the State Government leads to a lot of inconveniences to the selling stores as well as the passengers. The catastrophe created is the slow stock turnover from the government, causing newsagents and stores have limited stock for the commuters. The situation is worsened when the selling service is only provided by a small size business which has limited capital to stock up sufficient tickets. Zero incentive to the sellers is the other deterrent. On the other hand, commuters complained that the ticket agents are lack of knowledge on the bus routes and wrong tickets had been sold without refund. They also faced problems when they wanted to buy a ticket. Rail, Tram and Bus Union spokesman Raul Baonza asserted that it is no doubt the new system can reduce the congestion during boarding of the public transports but it creates more complications to the commuters. He even suggested the implementation of ticket machine at every bus stop. This issue has been brought to the parliament to be further discussed.
