National bus service, Bus Eireann has launched a new electronic ticketing service. Bus travellers can now log on to Bus Eireann’s website, Buseireann.ie and purchase tickets for national destinations with their credit cards.
After purchase, the user receives an e-mail confirming the details of their purchase. This confirmation ‘warranty’ must then be printed and presented to the bus driver on departure. The ticket is validated by a unique code printed on the confirmation slip which can be immediately verified by any driver on their electronic ticketing machine and a standard ticket is issued. The transaction from the driver’s machine is subsequently matched with the transaction number from the Website, so that the bus operator can track the number of tickets that have been sold for a particular journey and how many still need to be issued.
