Talk:History of public transport ticketing in New South Wales

Name

Is there any source that actually describes the official name of the fare collection system as the "AFCS"? The ICAC source on the page mentions that Sydney Ferries started "an Automated Fare Collection system" - but describes the term as if it were a commonplace term used in public transport parlance elsewhere, not as if it were an official name of the system. If there's no sources for this, the name should be changed to something along the lines of "Public transport ticketing in Sydney" or something similar. JROBBO 00:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Sources refer to "Automated Fare Collection System" for CityRail and the STA. But while AFC, distinct from "Public transport ticketing in Sydney", undoubtedly exists, its name is just a standard form of words used by officials at the time of implementation—then-minister Bruce Baird did not see fit to market the new system so extravagantly as his successors have marketed Tcard. That said, I will see if I can get some early-90s SRA annual reports and see what they call it. That will need to wait until the new year. In the meantime, other, more specific name change ideas could be listed here. Joestella 14:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

New tickets

The section "Tickets" is now redundant, and the "New Tickets" section is now current. Pickles8 (talk) 13:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal

These two articles are relatively short and deal with two aspects of the same thing: the Automated fare collection system itself (readers, ticket media, barriers, etc.) and MyZone, the fare structure and ticket designs introduced using that system in 2010. With both the system and the fare structure approaching their end-of-life, it's worth considering whether two articles are really merited here. Already, MyZone exists only as a secondary, legacy fare system in NSW. Mqst north (talk) 01:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. It seems silly having two articles dealing two aspects of the same system. --MDRX (talk) 23:04, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Performing the merger. Looking at the material again, there is also substantial overlap with Tcard. Mqst north (talk) 21:33, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
