Time to scrap the Presto System as its been a failure since day one and costly to all systems using it. Never supported it from day one since Burlington had a better system before GO moved to their outdated system that became the Presto system. How may systems in Ontario refused to go the Presto route and go a different route at less cost???
Based on my travels and using other system in NA and Europe, there are better systems out there that will do more for less money.
The 3 systems we rode while away had the ability of buying one trip ticket, 24 hour pass that starts from the time you first use the card or tell the end of the day as well 1-7 day pass along with weekly and monthly pass from fare machines on the street using cash, debit or credit card. One system allows you to go to any gas station and buy your fare media there as well other locations.
A number of the system had the tap on machine on the platform or the vehicles.
Rarely I get on a TTC vehicle where all readers are working, as well the fare machines.. It also applies to other systems using Presto. Have got a fair number of free rides this year thanks to Presto not working when I board a vehicle at the start of my trip.
TTC blames province as full transition to Presto cards delayed indefinitely
