Yet Another @PRESTOcard FAIL . Fares have doubled since I first started taking @GOtransit probably to pay for this horrible expensive system thestar.com/news/gta/2018/03…
TTC suspends Presto fare-gate installation due to mechanical, software problems

TTC suspends Presto fare-gate installation due to mechanical, software problems

One problem is the high failure rate of motors in the gates, which are supposed to open to allow riders access to the subway with the tap of a Presto card.

This makes me laff. Yet another PrestoCard Technology fiasco 🤣  “We’re really confident that both the TTC and the Metrolinx staff … are on top of everything and are troubleshooting everything.” <-- Not likely!!! thestar.com/news/gta/transpo…
TTC struggling with Presto fare gate capacity

TTC struggling with Presto fare gate capacity

The agency has not yet completed a software platform to support the new gates at subway stations, making it difficult to detect when one of the devices is out of service.

Another day of living hell commuting on @gotransit luckily I checked status b4 leaving saw that 820lsw cancelled so just went for the one after the 847. Unusual that GOtransit announces cancels ahead of time, but must commend them for the advanced notice. nitter.cf/nancycrawley/status/95…

While sitting on another delayed #GOtrain my only New year's resolution is to stop commuting to this horrible City. Every day something cause @gotransit issues, whether or not it is their fault, the commute is horrendous

The only positive aspect about taking usual GOtrain on day before New year's long weekend is there ain't any GO sheep! 🚫🐑🐑🐑😃

Its an early xmas gift from the weather! Snow completely melted, paths are completely dry, no @gotransit switch issues and there's no dreaded polar vortex windchills of misery. Great for walking / running in to #Toronto

Not quite 2 hour delays yet, but the morning is still young and GOtransit already having their winter 'switch issues'. I'm sure the 5% fare increase coming in February will got towards fixing the switches. Jokes. nitter.cf/NOtransit/status/94090…

Aldershot GO 05:03 - Union Station 06:10 #GOtrain is on the move, delayed 17 minutes late from Aldershot due to a track switch problem. We apologize for the incompetence. #GOtransit #LetTheDelaysBegin

The nonsense on the @gotransit LSW line starting early today! First a packed train pulls in to Port credit at 645 and leaves, then an empty train goes through at 659 without stopping #commutingSucks #winterofmisery FIX THE SWITCHES ALREADY!

What are the odds that GOTrains are running on time tomorrow morning? I have a feeling tomorrow will be a GOtransit winter commute from hell special! #Onstorm #Toronto #ONsnow #sickday nitter.cf/SimonOstler/status/940…

No cancellations to report for @GOtransit or @UPexpress as yet. Please give yourself extra travel time during the snowy weather. Check ahead for delays. Bundle up & stay safe

Luckily I woke up in time to catch the @Gotransit 650 LSW from #PortCredit😅 Probably the only train not screwed up up this morning. And on early trains don't get annoying, coughing, mucous spewing, virus spreading sheep in my quad #onstorm #snowday #onsnow #Toronto

Winter of Misery has officially begun. Snow may look nice in countryside landscape pics, in toronto it bring nothing but misery in form of GOtrain/TTC delays, dirty slushy streets, narrow sidewalks due to snowbanks, traffic jams etc.. #WinterOfMisery nitter.cf/Ross_Hull/status/94037…

First wave of snow which dropped close to 5 cm for #GTA #Toronto is starting to ease up but next wave will move in later tonight ~ 10:30 p.m. dropping another 4-8 cm by Tuesday a.m. #onstorm

Still anxiously awaiting the Oreo 8.1 update for my @madebygoogle Pixel 2 XL. From what I've read the update should be getting pushed by now.

Organizations run by the canadian government are only good at making excuses for their constant failures.. I don't see Fedex or UPS making excuses about being 'overwhelmed' with packages! #CanadaPost #metrolinx #GOtransit #cdnpoli thestar.com/news/gta/2017/12…
Rush of online orders leaves Canada Post pickup centres overwhelmed

Online shoppers track down their packages, or wait, while pickup centres are too full to store their orders
