Actors star in humorous video series promoting smart card

Two actors have put their talents to the test in a series of quirky new videos to mark the launch of a new smart card and products.

People in Greater Manchester can now, for the first time, use a single get me there smart card for all their journeys on any Greater Manchester tram and bus.

To mark the launch of the new products, a series of videos have been developed featuring local actresses Nicole Evans, from Wythenshawe and Safiya Haq, from Dukinfield, who play the same characters at three different ages in the videos which can be viewed here.

Developed by creative agency SKV, they show Nicola and Safiya having daft chats about their children, about celebrities and about their partners’ hobbies.

The videos make humorous use of the bleeping noises made when passengers touch the get me there card in or out of the system when they make a journey.

The videos are intended to get people talking – about funny conversations overheard on the bus or tram. Viewers are being encouraged to share the videos as well as their own stories of funny and strange conversations they’ve overheard on public transport.

The videos will feature across TfGM’s Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts and people can get involved by using #getmethere.
