Having used smart cards personally for travel (in Singapore), I have come to realise that they are quick, convenient and reduce ticketless travel. With smart cards its also very easy to calculate and charge a more appropriate and accurate fare. For example, in Singaopore if you change a bus migway to reach your destination, the system knows that you are continuing your journey and gives you a discount. Similar thing happens if you take a change from metro (MRT) to bus or vice-versa. I am sure BMTC, with the advantage of having started late, has access to more advanced (or at least similar) technology and will be able to give us all those features.
