Looks real good. Must be comfortable ride too. Why still we have manual ticket system? Bangalore is IT capital..and we still don't have automation in ticketing system!!. What a irony. If you take Singapore for example they have something called eaziLink card that can be used in MRT/Buses.
good suggestion, i guess they do have plans for electronic cards for the regular passengers, but for others ( who don't have electronic payement means) they also promote cash tickets sales...
