Name Auckland’s New Transport SmartCard

Posted by Jon C in TicketingDec 8th, 2009 | 56 responses

Now the integrated ticketing card is all go, it’s time to name the new card. See comments below.

The latest suggestions are hereoyster.ping

Some cities have opted for fishing-themes such as Oyster – a theme adopted by Infratil with their Wellington-based Snapper card.

So what should we go with – here’s the chance to get something uniquely New Zealand.

Other names include Melbourne’s Myki card (as in My key) South Korea’s T-money (by the Snapper company), London’s regional sQuidcard, Japan’s Suica card.

So what do you reckon? The Joyce? The MikeLee card?

    I still think the JAFA Card so we can show Auckland had something first for once.

    I like the sound of LAVA. Sail and Silver Fern are also good.
