[Travel] Smartcards good

Well, I think so. London tube may get mobile coverage by 2008, but as my previous posts shows that Ireland is laggind so far behind. Even the tube has a smart card system (blogged before) called the Oyster. Well, what more prominent example to follow than HK's MTR (underground) 3G coverage now (since they already have mobile coverage for awhile now).
We are slowly connecting our 2 Luas lines, planning of a metro from ariport to city, but still only rolling out a smartcard for Luas only at the moment (rest will follow in 2006).
