Annual taxsaver ticket keeps failing

[Redsoxfan]

My gf has an annual taxsaver ticket through work.

She has had it replaced around 5 times in the last 12 months as far as I can recall.

Any reason why this should keep happening? She keeps it in the IE wallet, away from all her credit and bank cards.

She complained to one to the ticket inspectors in Connolly the last time it happened (2 days previously she had spent 45 minutes of her lunchtime at Dublin Bus having the ticket replaced again), and he said 'not to worry, smart cards are on the way soon'
