Saves carrying a Opal card for public transport

Makes a lot more sense to use your smartphone so you can
track your public transport and see how close it is etc

I get a statement as old age pensioner it is cheap

I wasnt talking about any statement, I was talking
about actually using the public transport and
checking if the vehicle or train is running late etc.

Also can login to see where I've been and cost

Another good reason for a smartphone instead of a chip embedded in your  hand,

For me to go to shopping mall it's $1.12 return the busdrops me  outside  of Woolworth, Cole's, Aldi

Mine is $2.50 for use all day and it drops me next to
Woolys bit its a short work to Coles but a big hike to
Aldi but I get the stuff delivered from Coles for just
$2 and that is a lot less hassle than using the bus

Usually shop online Woolworth's

I usw Coles because its only $2 per delivery but Woolys stupidly wants $16

and top up with a bus trip

I dont bother with top ups, not silly enough to run out

(10 minutes  each way)

Same here, but it can be an hour wait if I miss the quick return bus

The timetable for bus and train is on mobile in real time,

You dont get real time with a chip in your hand

stops  outside 500 metres outside house

Mine isnt even that

Like doing your own tattoos on your eyelids

Not stupid enough to ever do tattoos
