Plus I don't know if those giant scanners the constables have can handle that extra information. :P<br /><br />In a totally unrelated note, I'm trying to convince everyone who takes the train to write to Presto and Go Transit to allow people to have the option of paying for a full monthly amount up front so you don't need to tap on each ride. I don't see why they can't do that. My friend heard from one of the constables that they will be switching to Presto only this summer. One of them told me one day that they're also switching to a no warning policy for ticketing. My guess is that it will happen at the same time to catch all the people who forget to tap on after using only monthly passes for years.

It's all got to do with the reduced/free rides on Presto. Think about it, you and your spouse tap on 4 times a day you get your reduced/free rides in half the time.lswgirl13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-60926334341570542882012-03-29T11:14:44.255-04:002012-03-29T11:14:44.255-04:00Thanks CJ, that makes sense.Thanks CJ, that makes sense.Dakotanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441168213084499367.post-74127129642046025322012-03-29T09:12:06.431-04:002012-03-29T09:12:06.431-04:00Apparently the driver can over-ride that function....Apparently the driver can over-ride that function.
