That's a good thing to know about. I don't have any other cards with RFID, but RBC sent a message around saying that their new debit cards are going to have "Interac Flash". Interac's version of RFID. I think that they'd replace the debit card I already have (which is only about a month old)...

Mine were: Sheppard-Allen Downsview Park Finch West York University Black Creek Beechwood Vaughan City Centre

Yes, that's the one.

I may have made a hamhanded error yesterday. On the way back from Union to East Gwillimbury, I may have forgotten to tap on. I did tap off, though. When I went to get on the bus this morning, my card wouldn't work! It said, "insufficient balance". By massaging the reader, the driver managed to...

Okay, the Saturday transactions have appeared in my transaction record on the Presto website. Today's, of course, aren't there yet.

Looking at my Presto transaction register, It has my trips from yesterday (Sunday), but does not have anything from Saturday! Saturday I went downtown, involving a bus trip to and from Newmarket, and a $40.00 load at Union. The increased value is reflected in Sunday's balance, but the actual...

Yes, extremely neat. I am reminded why my ex-roommate called the PATH system, and by extension all of downtown Toronto, "the ant farm". I noticed the Dome closing around 01:56. :)

Coming from the east on the GO bus, I counted thirteen construction cranes in one long glance. Further looking as the bus exited the Gardiner to go to the Union bus station revealed another seven cranes. And I knew perfectly well there were more on the western side of the CBD... :)

I got to ride one of the new subway trains today! It pulled in just as I arrived on the platform at Union. Later, around 16:30, something else occurred which I have never seen before on the subway. I was waiting on the southbound platform at Queen. The announcements were mentioning that...

Got a personal reply back from Laurie at YRT! Someone is listening... :)

And I sent the following message to YRT regarding having to trek to Union to get my card reset: I got back the following response: I responded with: This resulted in the following: So I don't know whether someone is going to get back to me with more information.

I sent an email to Presto asking them about the trip I took on Route 69 and why it has not yet appeared on my Presto transaction register; I'll let you know what response I get.

I sent an email to YRT with the following question: I got back the following answer: This is what I'd thought. YRT just needs to clarify their information to state that you can't (yet?) pay YRT fares on the Sutton bus. This would also explain why the "3-zone" buttons on the YRT Presto machines...

A good beginning would be bidirectional service during the morning and evening rush...

Yeah... if they had no-tap passes, that would eliminate a lot of potential congestion. And probably increase the uptake rate as well. Of course, the rider would still be subject to random checks.

I thought that Presto simply implemented the fare structures that the various agencies maintain. Unless Mississauga itself decided that post-secondary students using Presto didn't qualify for a discount, I don't see that Presto has any choice but to implement this Mississauga fare.

Another weirdness: I noticed that the Fall 2011 service update brochure for YRT says that I can't use the Presto card on GO Route 69, which is the Sutton GO bus. This route accepts YRT tickets for travel in York Region; if you pay cash, you pay the GO fare. I wonder whether this is why my trip...

I think this is key. It's still rather bumpy to use if something goes a little wrong and you're not using the train. Presto needs to do things like having Interac Online and Visa/MC on their website so that loading can be as quick as at a customer service centre. You should also be able to set...

Weird. It's been three days and I'm still not seeing any charges for the second half of my trip back to Sutton on the GO bus. I remember when I tapped off, the screen showed a balance of around $29.00. When I boarded the bus in Newmarket, I said that I was going to Sutton, but I have no idea...

Is the bridge high enough that it could be extended across Front Street without problem?
