They do indeed include Scarborough Centre!Any one have a list of the subway stations getting the next set of presto readers? They better include Scarborough Centre this time.
According to the presentation last August http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Com...Implementation_at_the_TTC_-_Status_Update.pdf the next 11 stations (by July 2015) are in no particular order:
Dundas West
Bathurst
Broadview
Scarborough Centre
Sheppard-Yonge
Davisville
Queen
King
St. Andrew
Osgoode
Museum
That seems an unreasonable demand on the system architecture. And this can be virtually achieved with AutoLoad, which I've had working for about 4 years now flawlessly.I want instant Presto updates.
I often refill my Presto via my phone's web browser, or my iPad LTE, every paycheck.. Modern web browsers on smartphones have reliably let me do Interac e-Transfers and Interac Online payments for all major banks. I'd like to do it 5 minutes before tapping my Presto card, while waiting for a GOtrain at Union, so I don't have to stand in line at the vending machines or cashiers! I don't use autoload, or want to (at this time).
I am aware of the 4 hour updates at the Union readers. I try to remember to do it on the morning GOtrain ride, for the evening Presto tap, but sometimes I forget, or I run unexpectedly low due to weekend rides, or TTC taps, or I refilled using an amount that runs out between paychecks, etc.[/QUOTE]
