[Culture] The Irish "Octopus" Card

Heard from my flatmate that the Integrated smart cards will be here in Ireland sooner than we thought. They want to gather information, but I need to get this site from my flatmate. I can give lots of feedback of my experience using these smart cards in HK. I see that the governent eproject planned delivery date for this is end of 2003 - Scroll down to number 43

More information on the integrated ticketing system:
o Finanacial part from Department of Transport
o Executive summary from Department of Transport
o From Dublin Bus

My previous blogs about integrated smart cards:
o Irish Transport should learn from HK
o Integrated Smartcards for public transport
