Your reporter's Contactless payment arrives in Vernon buses story ignores the 15 or 20 per cent of the population who, like me, don't own a cellphone, or those who, again like me, are very infrequent transit riders.

A quick check of the bctransit.com/umo website to which she refers clarifies that UMO has not ignored us: riders can still pay in cash.
