The three Presto machines at Dundas West station have been all down for a good period of time last week, and problematic when up. I was waiting to check my balance and reload if need be for 15 minutes yesterday, gave up and walked home. The two machines that were at least appearing to work somewhat had customers completely baffled on how to use them. Working or not, the machines are completely unintuitive.
The cash payment/token machines on the new streetcars are always hosting a session of people spending five minutes or more trying to figure them out, and often giving up in frustration.
When I see people struggling, I prompt them to take a picture of the screen, and then pay at the next opportunity, and meantime if a Fare Inspector accosts them, just show them the pic, and challenge them to ticket you, and you'll show the pic in court...and to anyone else interested.
