Just as a FYI, in Finland the conductors do carry around specialised devices that can read all mayor (and some minor) credit cards and debit cards so you can buy a ticket. They don't support chip though, so they only read the magnetic stripe. Very much like they do on the low cost airplanes where you buy food/drinks. -- Best regards, Aigars Mahinovs mailto:[email protected] #--------------------------------------------------------------# | .''`.
