Sigh. The online and posted schedule for this stop don't match. Online says it was +5 earlier or arriving in 28 minutes. Posted schedule says it arrives in 4 minutes. The schedule averages to 30 min service with gaps between 20 to 40 minutes for weekday service outside peak periods. #Unreliable
24 minutes off online schedule. This leg is free because the card reader is broken / offline. This trip gets me back down to 50% of my rides this month had a working fare reader. (When Stage 2 East opens, most of my 2 leg trips will involve transferring in a new fare paid zone.)
Leg 2. No sticker on fare reader but first tap didn't work. Driver waved me on so I guess it may be a network wide issue? I must remember to post my savings vs my payments this month. I'm not sure which figure will be higher. I honestly don't know.
Leg 3 (might have been on the same transfer as earlier trip.) This bus has a working card reader.
Leg 4: working card reader but no reader on back door. This isn't a problem on many routes. It isn't ideally on 38 Blair during pm peak.
Leg 5: first tap failed, second went through. I'm not sure if it is within transfer window or a new charge. But it matters little. I goofed. This is 15 Parliament not 12 Blair. They do run the same direction on Montreal Rd.
