Go card readers obviously not suited to outside locations

Normally you have to wait 30sec to know if you have touched on or off. Then another 30sec to cancel a touch on at a station. Buses immediately on the driver terminal. (Sometimes I check on a vending machine or online on the Go card status).

Update: That fixed fare I got at Milton two posts ago? That actually got counted as a touch off. I got a second fixed fare attempting to touch off at Ferny.

In conclusion: the readers need to more clearly indicate touch on/off status.

Aldonius - I trust that you'll be applying for a refund of both charges?

[aldonius]

Yeah, I submitted a request. The first one I'm willing to put down to my own stupidity. The second, yes, refund desired.
