Bicky. They are right. So I have a PrestoCard. I wait for a streetcar at Spadina and since I don't have any cash on me I have to hope (and pray) that the next streetcar is a new one that takes Presto.
Just ridiculous. Keep it the status quo until it can roll out on all street cars.
As others have suggested, if they added a component to the machine, I could pay with my presto regardless of which street car shows up.

It's pretty friggen ridiculous.
Let's go back in the time machine 6-12 months
Would you show up and wait for a streetcar with a Presto card and no cash-money? No, That would be pretty friggin ridiculous.
Let's go forward 6-12 months in the time machine.
Will this even be an issue after a rollout of an ALTERNATE new payment system compared to the first few weeks of a rollout?
If it is then that might be pretty friggen ridiculous.
"Keep it in the status quo..." is you showing up at the stop with cash-money, tokens or what ever you have been using on the streetcars.
I think its easy to complain during a transition period and the point is pretty mute when it is over but its cheese to all the whine on twitter channels.
OMG People this is like a TVM (Ticket Vending Machine) no where on the device does it say PRESTO it clearly states TTC FARES/TRANSFERS ... Learn to read OMG ....

The thing is Bicky, it doesn't do what it was touted to do! They say it is a Presto machine, yet you cannot do anything Presto related with it.
ReplyDeleteThat is why unicorn spotting is the sport du jour.

ReplyDelete^ You've missed the point. It was posted on Twitter and tagged as a photo of a Presto machine. So as you pointed out ...
ReplyDelete(not mute)
ReplyDeleteHilarious - my fave is the comments that it is related as much to unicorns as it is to Presto. Fail.
