albeit a pretty big sale at that.
Great. They really need to sort out things like the monthly pass/capping and transfers or 2 hour thing and checking POP without a paper receipt before Presto support spreads and more and more TTC users switch over.
That was all in the motion on April 29th, that was part of the discussion of the change in the Seniors fare. See the April decision at http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Com...educed_Senior_Fares_During_Off_Peak_Hours.pdfThere is going to be a big discussion at the TTC Board in October on fares and Presto:
I herd one of the fare inspectors say that they are eventually going to get scanners to read a presto card so they can see if it's been used. Right now until presto is system wide you still need a paper transfer.
Heres a video from back in May of Brad Ross and Andy Byford giving a rundown of how to obtain transfers and basically the message is, if you're paying with cash, token or presto, always get one.
They begin talking about presto and the new lflrv at the 4 minute mark. Byford says when stopped by fare inspectors you're supposed to show them either your metropass or your transfer as proof-of-payment. Theres no mention of presto card readers.
A pass is simple enough. My TTC pass arrives in the mail every month, and get's deducted from my bank account. They could just as easily load it automatically to my Presto Card.Seriously hope they go with monthly capping rather than a pass you load. It's simpler and more fair to riders.
Not using Presto.London does daily capping.
I get a transfer when using Presto simply to avoid the hassle. I saw a group of fare inspectors yesterday for the first time. Albeit, they were sitting at Starbucks.
