RE: https://mastodon.social/@Edent/116952092299773292 Ireland with TFI Live and TFI Go apps for busses is another level of hell. You need to use Live to find the route and times and it is buggy as hell. Then every person in your party needs their own phone and copy of the Go app (including children) to buy tickets. You also need to register accounts for each phone (no guest buying) and card details. Oh and they sometimes log you out. In Dublin using Leap cards was a lot easier but you have to get the Leap cards and make sure you maximise value.

@ruari@velocipederider.com Stockholm isn't *terrible* ... ... but uses an app these days. Advantage for someone like me: buy a heap of single-trip tickets (with Swish/Vipps), have them in the app, scan one each time one want to travel. Their *scanners* are poor, but the system works reasonably well.

Netherlands, Rotterdam was pretty good at least for adults and older children as you can just tap debit/credit cards (or Apple, Google, Samsung, Fidesmo, .etc). For younger children you can use the RET app to buy a daily ticket but I later realised that if you are just making a couple of journeys, it is easier and can be cheaper to use another payment card and pay as though they are adults. Like all systems that use payment cards directly you need enough for all members of your party.
