Have you seen this note from GO? PRESTO undergoing a system upgrade, self-automated services affected
The PRESTO website, prestocard.ca will undergo a system upgrade from May 31-June 2 to provide important updates and introduce new features. An easier way to login and manage your account, a simplified way to set student, child and senior discounts on your card, and a more intuitive online experience will make the PRESTO card easier to use.

ReplyDeleteBa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahah!
ReplyDeleteDoubtful.
I'm just a passenger. Just like you. I've been told GO helps a lot of folks with Presto woes.
But thanks for letting me think that "Don't you know who I am?!" actually has any merit.
Actually, CJ, anon has a point.
ReplyDeleteYou do GO a great service with this website. You get to interact with passengers in a way that GO cannot. Secondly, this is a forum for feedback that GO doesn't have to pay for or spend money on to get.
Of course they're going to help you.
Despite being a monopoly, GO is part of Metrolinx, which is a brand.
Metrolinx is looking to expand. Municipalities need to feel they can trust Metrolink with their transportation tax dollars.
Reputation management is key.
GO wants to keep its number one blogger happy. Trust me.
While everything Fred says is valid, I don't believe there's any truth to it.
ReplyDeleteI find it extremely unlikely that there has been some executive directive issued to the peons who man the customer service department to "make sure that CJ Smith gets preferential treatment".
I like seeing the average Joe win as much as anyone, as it gives me hope that if/when I have similar GO/Presto issues, that I'm not necessaril up shit's creek. But to think that this is a deliberate, intentional maneouvre on the part of GO Transit is, in my opinion, a bit of a stretch.
Even though anon's comment was written on the wrong post, it's too late to move it.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with Fred. I agree with Matt. Fred, you know I love ya, but you're reaching. I'm flattered, but you're reaching.
Sorry to break up the current conversation, but I want to comment on the actual post.
ReplyDeleteI can't be the only person who is annoyed that Presto chose to do their "System Upgrade" at the end/beginning of the month... right when most people need to add money to their cards?!
I am really looking forward to the "more intuitive online experience"...
I can only imagine what they think is intuitive. Maybe this upgrade will fix our tax reports for next year. Doubtful.
