Buses will be progressively equipped with smart card readers which will read the NoWcards marking a new era in the way in which concessionary travel is operated and managed.
Within each NoWcard is a small microchip, which gives details of your concessionary fare discount. The ticket machine on your local bus service, will be able to read your NoWcard, check its validity and ensure that you are given the correct fare. Your personal details are kept securely by your District Council; these details cannot be read by bus service operators. The NoWcard allows the bus service operator and the local authority, to account accurately for concessionary fares, so that the concessions are paid for correctly.
