First Card
First Card was a cashless way of paying for fares within the Bradford area. Similar to the Oyster Card scheme in London, you could store cash to pay for your fare, an annual pass available in daily, weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions or a combination of both.
The scheme operated from 2000 until 2 March 2012, when it was withdrawn in anticipation of a new ITSO compliant smart card usable across all FirstGroup UK public transport companies.

Famous quotes containing the word card:
“I must save this government if possible. What I cannot do, of course I will not do; but it may as well be understood, once for all, that I shall not surrender this game leaving any available card unplayed.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
