Most systems with refillable card systems will charge you for the card. Often times its a deposit you can even get a refund on, which is good for tourist, temporary residents, students, etc. Not sure how it works here, but that's not unexpected.
I got screwed because they introduced it the year after I graduated, so I didn't qualify for a free card as a student.
It's more sticker shock that anything - when I was in Washington DC it cost $2, in Atlanta it was $1.
At least it never expires.
TTC going from one extreme to the other
Me likey
I wonder if this means presto will become integrated in a bunch of retailers to buy/refill cards?
They'll still be there, getting pissy if you ask for directions and generally just eating up resources. Just like normal, but now they have even less work to do.

So I went back to Gamearama's new location today and it seems they are keeping that front area open as a salad/veggie bar. Interesting concept.
The store was packed and so were the shelves. It looks a lot better than it used to. Definitely a smart idea to move to that smaller venue.

They'll be even more pissed because they won't be sitting all day.

Well hopefully it, you know, actually happens.
At the same time I like this direction of new extremes
Also where the fuck are our new streetcars

I'm gonna miss looking all sketchy taking out tokens from the weed dime bag you get when you buy tokens from Shoppers.

They're stylish, come in multiple colours, and can be found in most random TTC convenience stores

That's how it has worked in other places I've been.

That is the newest page. You can start there are work backwards... Thousands and thousands of photos.
Sorry I disappeared, everyone. I just always forget neogaf exists now that I can't play video games anymore. It's coming up on a year now
It's feels surreal to not have played the current Mario Kart game. I haven't known that feeling since the first one came out.added_time

I would have taken him up on the offer, but I have to work.
It's a shame, because St. Vincent is amazing in concert.

This storm is bonkers
London, England has people working at the tube access points in a customer service role, so the fare collectors switching to that isn't so strange
Edit 2 - I'm slightly jealous of Rinoa's pics, well done

This weather and humidity is disgusting. Fuck summer.
I said the same thing last night haha
can't remember the last time I heard thunder crack that loud
Thunder wasn't cracking that loud up in on the mean streets of T-Hill. But I can remember the last time I heard thunder cracking hella loud. It was twice this year on two separate thunderstorms.
One during the day that startled me and another one that woke me up out of my sleep at like 3 in the morning.
It seems that there are contradicting reports about how the weather is going to be this summer: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/ne...-how-to-tell-weather-months-in-advance/52459/
I am shocked.
This will somehow end up being more expensive for riders, guaranteed.
I can't help think this is, in part, related to fare enforcement, which the TTC clearly feels is an issue. I just don't want to get punched in the head over a Presto pass (lol).
It screws over the people who buy a shit-ton of tokens before an announced fare increase.
If you've bought enough token to last 2 years from now, until they're phased out.. well.. that's a shit tone of tokens and you should probably own a metro pass.
It's a good thing and it's progress, even if there will be bumps. It works for literally a hundred other systems around the world, it'll work here.

If there's any organization that could fuck it up, it's the TTC
I was on a hill in a palace garden in Verona a few weeks ago and it started to sprinkle with low rumblings of thunder and lightning in the distance. I turned to my girlfriend and said "this is so beautif" before the loudest thunder crack I've ever heard, occurring basically simultaneously with the lightning.
My next words were "FUCK YOU I'M OUT" and I ran down the hill to shelter.
