    Posted in South Australia » How does your ticketing system work?

    Don't be bullied by some PSA's that state you need another valid ticket, you do not need one unless you get off this train and get on a bus say. You are allowed to complete your journey on the original ticket even after the time has run out on it!
    David Peters

    And I suspect that once again if requested you'd not be able to provide details of the 'bullying PSA' that did this other than some hearsay story? EVERY PSA would know that, and none of them would expect you to revalidate, that aside from the fact that the system wouldn't let you anyway.

    Did you miss this?

    The biggest change is that each validation now has a code relating to the service being operated

    With the new system:

    • You can not change cars (i.e. getting off and swapping cars at an intermediate stop) on the same train and re-validate, because the service code will be the same.

    The biggest change is that each validation now has a code relating to the service being operated instead of the old validators having a vehicle ID number set permanently.
