your DATAFARE Passenger Card will then be validated for that amount and a
receipt detailing the purchase is issued to you.
How does the DATAFARE Passenger Card work?
On boarding the bus, state your destination and hand the driver your card.
He will then insert the card into the electronic ticketing machine and
issue you with a ticket. The issued ticket will show the following:
- the normal fare
- the remaining credit on your passenger card.
NOTE: this ticket must be retained for the duration of the journey in case
an inspector requests to see it. It is also good practise to keep for your
own records.

your card (i.e. HOTLIST) BUT this can only be done the following day. This
means that if anybody uses the card from the time you lost it to the time
the reprogramming occurs, the amount of money used up will be LOST.
