2 times max fares for ONE single train ride

I took a Go train from Niagara Falls to Union station. Tapped on at Niagara Falls and tapped off at Union station. However, the system considered the tap at Union station another tap on rather than tap off. So I got charged 2 times max fares. Service representatives were hard to communicate with and not willing to help.

Care not to call back a new customer who is stuck with a funding issue

I tried multiple times funding my newly registered Presto card online with a small remaining amount of a virtual credit card over a month ago. No success with their online account funding feature at all EVEN AFTER I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT ACCORDING TO THEIR RULES!!!Finally I called Presto about 2 weeks ago. After much annoying & quite intimidating verification process, the agent simply told me that there was nothing that he could do after I gave him detailed explanation of what I wanted to do, why & my repeated attempt failures online.I insisted to speak with a supervisor. This agent did the ''call back'' request very reluctantly. He showed even more resistance when I asked for a case/reference number of some sort. Eventually, he gave me an ''ID '' number *******5552 & told me a supervisor would call me in ''2-3 business days''.No call whatsoever I received from Presto for over 2 weeks!!No wonder I always feel this Presto card thing is not something for me since its launching decades ago. My gut feeling has been again so right about this uncaring, no help for even a simple issue, quite arrogant & indifferent as far as I am concerned. Another increasing bigger & much more bulky & inefficient government related institution of our mega city!

If i could give 0 *,ongoing issue

If i could give 0 *, I would. Either when i had the physical card or presto Wallet, the cards worked 50% of the time. Customer service takes hours of phone calls and the promised of a call back from a supervisor. I have senior rate,and I have to pay regular fee because the card doesn't work. No resolution, answered all their question about if i did the right things (NFC,unlock, app updates etc): it just stopped working and i know many of my friends had similar issues. The more you call,the more you get different answers: what should I do to just pay my fare? Timer to change provider. It's been quite a headache

I'm against Presto

Bought Presto GO ticket online without signing in — now the app won’t let me access them unless I log in, and there’s no way to link the tickets I already paid for. Why is this even allowed?They’ve got two PRESTO apps that don’t connect to each other. Total mess. And once you hit “activate,” that’s it, there's a 5 minute timer that you can't even stop. Tickets are non-refundable even if you haven’t used them. Just awful design all around.Feels like they didn’t test this on real humans at all. Save yourself the headache and just do ticket stuff the old school way. Presto has not evolved to the point where they can do the online methods properly.

Let's go back to bus tickets

Bus tickets are by far better than this system. Here's why...1. Almost anytime you want a new presto card you have to pay $6. That is $6 just to own for a piece of plastic. A piece of plastic at the Rec Room Gaming center is half that price.2. When you load funds on a presto card, you're trusting them to hang onto your money until you use it on participating transit services, but what if there's a technical glitch that wipes out your balance and you can't prove your existing balance otherwise?3. Increased chance of frustration for the mentally disabled. With regular bus tickets, all a person has to do is insert the ticket into the machine and the river sees it and the person is good to go. No balance checks, no wireless communications needed, and no frustrations over technical glitches power outages or insufficient funds4. What if the power goes out everywhere? Imagine that... then what... How do the bus companies get compensated when people board with presto during a power outage?5. This is a tool of control because many transit systems charge a lower fare if one uses a presto card to pay for fare. In the past, one could pay a lower fare using lower-priced bus tickets specifically for that bus system, not managed by a large company.6. If you buy several bus tickets and keep many at home then take only 2 for your trip and you lose one, then you lost out on less money. whereas with presto, if you take your loaded presto card and you lose the card without bowing down and giving them all your information (to register the card), then you lost all of the money still available on it.7. Proof of payment is sad. Why? because the only way one can check for proof of payment when paying by presto is to use a card reader. (again... what if there's a power outage? would the transit service go to a halt until power is restored?). At least if tickets were purchased, that can be used as proof of payment and no technology is required to see them. I just wish this system wasn't a requirement for reduced fares.

TERRIBLE, INCOMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE RESOLUTION. 6 CALLS, 1 MONTH AND ONLY GIVEN EXCUSES & STILL N

Since the transition of User Name to email, the app has been glitchy. I have not been able to access my Presto card online or on the app. And what's worst, the Presto Card customer service is TERRIBLE. I have had to call SIX (6) times to try and resolve my situation. And each time I have been given a time to expect the issue to be resolved and it SIMPLY DOES NOT GET DONE. And each time I have called, I have been given a different excuse EACH TIME. I have complained, asked my ticket(s) be escalated to management and still nothing has been fixed. It's been an entire month for something that should have been easily fixed by their back office! Also, customer service did not provide any solutions or compensation to me as a customer for such an inconvenience. I've actually had to call myself and try to provide NEW solutions. They failed at those, too. Why not provide me with a new card, free of charge, so I can transfer my funds from my old card to a new one, create a new account so I can access what I need to online or on the app?!? But, wait that's MY idea and not one offered by them. Still waiting to see if anything will happen at all. TERRIBLE COMPANY. LACK OF PROCESSESS IN PLACE to actually help. USELESS.
