Our Own Oyster Card
I've been arguing for some time that we need a Welsh Oyster Card, and I'm pleased that progress in now being made to creating such a card for travel around Wales. Anyone who has used an oyster card in London knows how useful it is, and how generally well the system works. If we are really serious about developing sustainable transport in Wales, then such a card would be of major benefit. But, what should it be called? Prof Stuart Cole in the Western Mail recently tells us it is to be called the Wales Transport Entitlement Card. He suggests Cerdyn Cymru. For me that seems a little boring - how about following a seafood theme ... the 'Cockle Card' ... Just a suggestion, but if people could post a few suggestions in the comments I'll run a quick poll on the favourites from Friday onwards.

Syniad arbennig! fabulous idea! What about following the theme of the sea as we have a vast sea coast - Cerdyn y mor, playing on the tentative link of mor and more (encouraging more travel) and sea with see-ing - as you can see all the best parts of Wales traveling on public transport! Just an idea!
Another idea is the Link card as it does exactly what it says on the card!
Definitely should be called the Cerdyn Cocos (Cockle Card)
Latest suggestion on Facebook is the 'Lobster Card' ... are some people taking the seafood theme a little too far?
Cerdyn Cymru/Cymru Card unless it's in use already.
Something to connect with Merkin or ancient legend?
