>>1908915>a unified electronic ticketThat already exists. There is a standard for that.
They simply didn't update their control devices in time for the new type of ticket.
Also, since every eticket is signed by the authority issuing it, you better be having a key infrastructure, that isn't a fucking mess to deal with.
News has it, there are even fixed units, that can't be updated anymore.
They had over a fucking year to prepare for fuck's sake. What were they doing all that time?
>boomers in chargeI'm pretty sure there were IT people that made them aware of the incoming mess in time.
It was fucking obvious. There were people on the web predicting this outcome since last year.
I'm afraid "removing boomers" won't fix anything, though.
It's people having the decisive say, that have no fucking clue what they are dealing with, and IT people being overly conscious to not step on some higher-up's feet.
