Yeah, that's absolutely a HUGE problem right now. I don't know if anyone here has made the mistake of using Dundas station since the faregates were installed on the southbound platform, but if a train arrives at the station, good luck entering the gates for about 30 seconds after that train has...

Really? I've found the TTC's bus/streetcar readers, and the ones fitted onto the turnstiles that look like the bus/streetcar readers, are ridiculously overpowered. I was once travelling with a female friend, she actually had a transfer because she was using tokens at the time and as she boarded...

1. If you'd loaded the $20 earlier, it would have been there for you. Also, as long as your balance wasn't below $5.30, you'd still be able to tap on GO, so you REALLY had a very low balance. Why keep a presto card with, like, a $2 balance? Maybe when it drops below $10 you should consider...

Reliability-wise, on surface vehicles you wouldn't have any problem--if the readers are broken the rule is you ride free, and you wouldn't have a problem with fare inspectors between the broken reader and the fact that they can see the pass on your card. As for subway stations, the old...

Great! Union joins St George as my biggest source of irritation as someone who's had presto since 2011. Union's south turnstiles and St George's Bedford entrance have both had presto for about 7 years now, but Union's Brookfield entrance (both the old rotunda by the Bay West Teamway and the new...

This discussion has long progressed from TYSSE-specific Presto discussion to TYSSE-unrelated Presto discussion, but I'll respond to your points since they're ridiculous: 1. Why would you load money on your presto card then not use it for a month? Why not load it less than a month before you...

That's not a problem with Presto. Presto displays your balance, fare deducted, and/or time remaining on a transfer on: Brampton Transit/Züm Burlington Transit Durham Region Transit GO Transit Hamilton Street Railway MiWay Oakville Transit OCTranspo Union Pearson Express YRT/Viva Presto does...

Ah, the previous post "I wonder what happens if I tap on and tap off at the same station. When the RER era comes , I may hop on at Unionville, hit Union in 40 minutes, run my errands and go back to Unionville well within the 3 hour time frame. What fare should I pay?" being replied to seemed...

Are you certain? If you tap on at Port Credit, don't tap off or on anywhere else, then tap again at Port Credit it charges you a fare? What fare could it possibly charge you since it doesn't know where you went? I would think the machine would give an error or cancel the tap.

I don't think so. I have done an override from Aurora to Downsview Park, then back from Downsview Park to Aurora, I still get the ~$5 off. I don't see why an Aurora-Union default would be required to get an Aurora-Downsview Park-Aurora discount. And from what I understand, pressing override...

I believe you would get fined for failure to pay your fare. GO's official instructions, from what I understand, are that if you're making a trip, you tap on at the beginning, and off at the end. Those are clearly 2 entirely separate trips, 3 hour window or not, so you should tap on at Unionville...

Presuming you don't have a default trip set, then you can do it either way, tap off at union then back on or just tap off at your final destination. The way I do it is if I'm making an actual direct transfer at Union, I just tap off at my final destination. If I'm getting off at union, doing...

FYI Heather has just tweeted out that it's delayed to May, now; that was fast... https://twitter.com/hmacmillanbrown/status/964310704185659392

Magic 8-ball.

I have spoken to a senior customer service manager at GO. I was informed that these cancellations will likely continue occurring until double tracking is completed sometime in 2019 at the earliest. I raised the notion of possibly scheduling buses formally on monday and thursday rather than...

I just want to take a moment here and apologize for my insanely wrong comments saying the delay on the faregates is minimal/unnoticeable/problematic when the rest of you were complaining about it. I guess my first couple of tries during the initial deployment at a couple of stations had me...

I do drive, I actually drive an EV so I don't have gas, and I never let my charge get so low that I would be unable to make a single short trip to a charging station, and I don't see how that's even remotely comparable or relevant to the discussion--which is already way off topic. Rest assured...

I am surprised they're removing all of the spaces. I thought they'd turn the eastern row of spaces into parallel spaces or at most remove them, and remove the hallway on the east side for entrance/exit making it PATH space instead along with the removed spaces. Turning the entirety of P1 into...

It's my usual phrase when people complain about their presto card running empty. Between here, twitter, and reddit I must use it two or three times a week. It's harsh, I recognize that, but I'm sorry, I just think it's valid. I think it's one of the simplest things we, as adults, are responsible...

Firstly, at both college and dundas (assuming you mean the side under construction as the other has faregates), there are multiple clearly visible presto machines. I don't find them remotely difficult to see, so I'm at a loss as to how you managed to miss them. I don't understand how you could...
