<title><![CDATA[General | RFID and Biometric Bus Pass Trial]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[As ever at The Green Bus we're always working on improving the safety and security of our bus services.<br />
<br />
Over the next academic year we will be trialling the next generation of bus pass, called RFID. It could revolutionise the way that bus passes work - and is a step ahead of London's Oyster Card!<br />
<br />
We're also working on developing a biometric thumb-print reader that would turn you into a walking bus pass!<br />

<title><![CDATA[General | How to Adjust Your Screen Resolution to View the Website Properly]]></title>
<link><![CDATA[]]></link>
<description><![CDATA[This website looks so cool because it's built in something called Flash. The downside is that it can look 'zoomed in' on your screen. To change this, do the following:<br />
<br />
Go to your PC's main desktop page, right-click on the screen, go to the Properties section and in Settings change the Screen Resolution so that it's nice and high!<br />
<br />
If you're still having trouble, then ring our Green team on 0845 234 2222.<br type="_moz" />]]></description>
