Yes you can. Just the monthly metropass though, the annual one (MDP replacement) is online-only.

Trains are running between Maple and Union so that isn't a factor at all. I guess maybe customers from Aurora might have benefitted from a direct express bus instead of a shuttle to Maple and a train but it's not like people are being shoved on GO buses down the 427 or surface streets.

That's odd, the linked article says nothing about that.

It is already capable of working perfectly fine. Metrolinx is simply choosing not to support it.

The big one that also vends cards? They're excellent, just like the new 2nd generation reload kiosks.

That's quite pathetic of him.

Apple Pay has an express mode for transit cards where you can just tap your phone on a transit reader and no authentication is required. Used for Suica in Japan. It's a user-settable option. Alternatively, just as with credit and debit cards, you can authenticate using Face/Touch ID or your...

Of course. Are they going to sell and accept tokens at 4:59:59 AM on Sunday December 16th 2018, and stop selling and accepting them at 5:00:00 AM?

I thought burger's priest had backed out? This is the first I've heard of it in years.

There are no such restrictions on the iPhone. The iPhone supports transit farecards virtually identical in functionality to Presto, such as the Suica card (Japan) - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207154 No idea why Metrolinx decided to shun the iPhone for this. Maybe received a payout from...

Hard to tell where that is. If this is the north wall of the area where the Time kiosk is on the east side, and Amano is on the west side, then yes, these are the moat doors. They actually used to be open to the public back when the York concourse first opened. For a good few months, the west...

The YRT's electric bus pilot was formally "launched" today. Not sure if the bus was strictly for demo purposes or if they've actually received the ones they ordered, and I don't know if the charging station at Newmarket Bus Terminal has been installed, or when service will start. I think service...

Only while it's sitting waiting at the station, and mainly at Pearson in my experience. Not the case at Bloor and Weston, at those stations it opens the doors, waits a few seconds, and closes them. At Union it seems to leave them open as layover times are generally under 10 minutes. Only at...

Wow! I thought my prediction of Ottawa's LRT opening before ION was dead when Ottawa postponed to November. Looks like I might end up being right, though!

There is one restaurant near Downsview Park and one near Union that I go to often. Also, sometimes I need to buy something from the eaton centre or a specialty store somewhere in the downtown core. These days sometimes I visit Yorkdale via Downsview Park rather than driving there. I have had a...

I have two because I save a lot of money that way. The new $1.50 TTC co-fare with GO has the side effect of closing your GO transfer window. When I go from Aurora to Union, I pay $8.26. If I tap for my return trip within 3 hours of my initial tap, I pay only $3.56 for the return trip, saving...

I've said this probably about 50 times between this and other threads, but I'll repeat myself: if GO charges for parking in a manner that results in a total fare increase, a large percentage of its customers will stop using GO and drive all the way downtown instead, and GO service will be cut...

In the peak direction, I assume. I'd guess it has 0 or 1 passengers in the counter peak direction as it heads back to pick up more peak direction passengers. Also, no seats left is very empty by TTC standards in the peak period/direction, many routes have vehicles at a crush load full of...

Odd, it's always worked fine for me with GO buses.

There are 2 main modes on the Flexity for the doors, "all doors" and "enable". All doors opens all of the doors when pressed, and closes all of them when pressed again, it's intended for very high-traffic stops and end-of-line stations. Enable makes it so that individual doors open when the...
