    The Opal card reader usually has a Red cross on the display showing you that you can't tap off when the bus is in motion, so most likely that person might not have saved any money at all.

    • Yes that's what it says in article

  • Maybe he wanted to get his 8 registered trips, since he could easily have called customer service to void that uncompleted trip.

    Buying a written off car or driving with out insurance. Not me, just check the forums.

    • I know few people who have done driving without insurance thing. Very risky imo

      • what about this guy continuing to use a lithium battery that's already expanded to twice it's size?

    Dont blame him. Trying to get opal admin to recredit your card is like pulling teeth.
    ding

    • not in my dealings with them. i tapped on a bus but the machine went faulty before i was about to get off so i couldnt tap off. i rang them and they recreditted the overcharge.

  • Must be an Ozbargain member!
