Forget the quiet zone. Nothing hushes the masses like a one act play titled "But I swear I tapped." #gotrain #drama @GOtransitLW pic.twitter.com/ystnbAJELn

On the 6:33am out of Aldershot this morning and some fellow didn't tap, had already rec'd at least one warning so got a $100 fine. Starts following the fare inspector around like its his fault...complaining about the trains being late and other lame excuses. At first he didn't have any ID, then found his drivers licence....
Just take the ticket and sit down...you got caught.
Literally everyone uses that excuse, but that's why it sucks so bad when you're telling the truth! Many years ago when GO had just started using the Presto cards, I had the "default" trip set up on my card. However, the person screwed up so it only did a default trip one way, and going the other way I'd still have to tap both on and off. I didn't know this, of course, so one day coming home from work when I tapped it was actually registered as the "tap off" from the morning commute. Hilarity ensued when a transit cop scanned my card and said that I hadn't tapped on for that trip.
G - it doesn't work that way.
Default is between 2 specific stations (example: Union and Ajax). Tap on at Ajax, automatically taps you off at Union and vice versa.
There is no ability for it to set to work for one way and not the other.
All I can tell you is that's what happened to me. It was back in 2012 so perhaps things have changed since then. I went back to the counter at Union and they were very apologetic for the screw up and credited me a ride for my trouble.
