I didn't think that's a thing here. Would be nice though!
I honestly don't know. It might have something to do with connections, because you have to scan on each bus or LRT you take, but I rarely ever do that, and on the occasions I did, there were no double charges as far as I remember.
Maybe they just want you to do it so they can track journeys better?
I should probably look this up...
Edmonton has a transit card that you pre load and then scan on the bus when you get on. The annoying part is that you are also supposed to scan it when you get off the bus, but it's not strictly necessary. So I never do.
What's nice is that they also let you just tap your credit card. The fare is a little bit more expensive (I think 25 cents), but anyone can just hop on and off easily.
I still much prefer the Swiss system, but for North America, Edmonton is pretty ok.
Sounds like it wasn't the renewable energy that failed, but the human component.
Not quite where my mind was going, but definitely something along the line of "Fuck it", leave the car right there and just ditch.
I get this sinking feeling that they are planning for the worst possible version of a post money world

Scout Niblett's version of No Scrubs.
It's a toss up between Cave and Cash for me. Both are fantastic songs.
Er hat ja auch nicht mehr so viele.
