I would like to see a system like the Oyster swipecard system on the London Underground introduced across Metro/Rail and bus services. Since a lot of these are already implemented by Centro, this could fairly easily introduced. Since most bus riders do so frequently, but not necessarily regularly, I believe that this with some for of pre-payment system could help speed up boarding and ticket purchasing across all transport methods.

An Oyster card type system is being planned by Centro I believe. I think it's a tad more complex than London as Centro covers rail as well (Oyster use on rail in London took quite a while to come in I think and still isn't network wide).
Is certainly in the offing anyway.

Quality bus contracts would help to avoid duplication of services and 'cowboy' operators, helping to reduce bus congestion - what's the point of 2 competing bus companies running half-full buses at the same time?
