@samueljohnson@jon Saturday's electrostar had some intermittent contact problem on the speakers. At least once it went "this is the service to London (crackles, long long pause) Sorted!" Which was nice.
Recalling here that saying, give the least number of instructions possible, otherwise for every instruction given even just once you will be expected to give it every time or the task won't get done.
@samy@simon_lucy sure but it’s a common problem between Bruxelles Midi and Bruxelles Nord in particular. But I’ve got to Leuven without anything stolen either 🙂
(Oh and it took me about 30 seconds and involved no UX WTF moments to activate a Standard Multi journey for the trip - and Standard Multi remains one of the most brilliant ticket products anywhere. It matches my needs as a semi regular long distance traveller perfectly)
@quixoticgeek 10 single trips anywhere in Belgium to use within 12 months. Costs 99 euro. So essentially €9,90 to get you anywhere in Belgium you want, providing you travel semi regularly. (Today for me: Bruxelles Midi - Liege - Visé)
@jon@quixoticgeek does an app really save you a few euro? What price access to your phone, its data, network and battery? Transport tickets really ought to use standard ticket wallet apps. Bet their blasted app is only on Google and Apple app stores, not independent ones, entrenching the tech overlord monopolies further. 😤
@jon@mjr there needs to be a nice middle ground. I hate the way everything is moving to apps. The other day I wanted to find a water tap. And the website for such, rather than offering a map just said download the app. Drives me nuts.
@quixoticgeek@mjr Sure. But given the nature of this ticket - that only you can use it - it has to be connected to a login. Can be done on SNCB’s site too.
