It is with regret that I read of outbursts and polemics regarding the new Tallinja card service. I was far from being one of the first to apply for the card but have nonetheless had a topped-up card (using the internet service) since June 26.
On July 2 I topped up a family member’s card using a card purchased from a village stationery. The whole process was effortless and seamless.
I look forward to the day when our culture becomes somewhat more proactive and positive.
A day when, for instance, people who just must have the card the day the system starts apply for it in a timely fashion.
A day when, if they have failed to do so, rather than fault the system,they lay the blame where blame lies (on themselves) lest the onslaught of criticism demotivate those who have, so far as I and numerous other (sensible) commuters are concerned, been provided with an excellent service. I take this opportunity to thank all responsible for the introduction of this card which I am sure will translate into less time wastage as people board.
