I would think/hope that the naming of our smart card would be put to public competition.
For RAV, they privately came up with the "Canada Line"...I'm sure if they came forward to the public about that, there would have been a flat "no" for that name. Then again, when Translink held a public competition to name the PMC Line they came up with the "Evergreen Line" and we were disappointed once again.
So, without further adieu what are your suggestions for a potential smart card name?
I believe Translink came up with the "ORCA" some years ago standing for "One Regional Card for All" and it also fits well here in the west coast....but somehow, Seattle stole the name/acronym and used it for their own smart card.
