Mississauga Pulls Ahead
While Toronto residents fumble around in their linty pockets, for tokens most small, or tickets most crumpled, Mississauga(‘Leading today for tomorrow!) is streamlining its transit ticketing operations, and creating one seamless payment card. The smart card, which uses a microchip to deduct prepaid monies from its total, will be available acrross the Saug by 2007. Riders won’t need transfers either. Director of Mississauga Transit, Bill Cunningham hopes the smart cards will “stimulate ridership growth.” TOist hopes better service will stimulate ridership growth, but we still want a smart card! Perhaps the T.T.C. can take a cue from Mis. and work on ‘leading today for tomorrow!’
