I checked last night and the GO trip from Port Credit to Union was now charged correctly. I wonder if when I tapped at Port Credit one of the card error taps got through.I've had Presto Errors before. It was often caused by a newbie presto mistake like messing up tap-on / tap-out randomly. Sometimes it resolves itself overnight (after the penalty is automatically applied) but you should haul ass to a GO wicket, that's when you can easily get a refund: ASAP after your mistake. TTC/Shoppers cannot help with refunds, but GO cashiers are very flexible in giving your refunds for Presto mistakes if you're quick to visit the wicket.
My car is almost 18 years old, so yes, I have been thinking of not replacing it. That's one of the reasons I gave the bikeshare/GO route a feasibility test. Why wife's car is brand new, so she can drive me to Union in the winter. It's that TTC hit that I want to avoid, even with the announced savings when combined with GO.Over the years, see how much your car use decreases. Maybe when your car wears out (e.g. Time to replace car) you might instead use carshare
Most annoying part of the trip was the return BikeShare. I'm standing at the NE Bay/Front station, but my Transit App keeps trying to release a bike on the SE Bay/Front station. I suppose the GPS gets thrown off, but the app is supposed to show you the options of what's nearby, and it wouldn't list the NE Bay/Front station. So, after five mins I figured out I could zoom into the map and force it to release a bike at my station. No biggie, still learning.
