Oxfordshire’s Cabinet Member for Transport is clearly suffering from amnesia if he cannot remember that he opposed multi-ticketing when I proposed it at County Hall because he said ‘the technology wasn’t available’ (Oxford Mail, April 1).

My argument in reply simply said that you didn’t need to have ‘the technology’ to implement it – indeed one can keep a ‘paper ticket’ system so long as the bus companies are willing to accept each others’ tickets.

This can only happen if the county council is the honest broker under the Local Transport Act 2008. It is that simple.

Unfortunately, when it comes to public transport, the Conservative Cabinet at County Hall is lacking in political will – no 21st century technology can remedy that.
