As compare to HK Octopus card, Presto is NOTHING!
http://www.octopus.com.hk/home/en/index.html
There is NO delay in money transaction.
Can be used in:
1) Bus
2) Subway
3) Any Fast Food restaurant (e.g. MacDonald)
4) Grocery stores like Seven-Eleven, etc etc
And Octopus Systems started in 1997.
HK has population of 7 million, assuming 5 million own Octopus card, and each uses it six times a day, a total of 30 million transactions.
Given Presto has claimed the accuracy rate is 99 % (cannot be better), 1 % HK Octopus transaction per day = 300,000 failure!!!
Why spend money developing that CRAPPY Presto, buy Octopus system from Hong Kong. Metrolinx is another Liberal Agency (like ORNGE, eHealh)....
I read an article today, very interesting:
