OC Transpo/STO Fan Posted July 20, 2022 Report Share Posted July 20, 2022 The Nova equipped is 4699. 8164 also has the new reader, so they've now equipped one bus of each different model (with the exception of the 2012 DDs and the XE40s so far).

If the buses get retired, they just unmount them and put them in a new bus. We only got 4 XE40s, which had zero effect on the number of Inveros in the fleet.

It seems like there are suddenly a lot more appearing I don’t believe a firm timeline. It was in a testing roll in phase initially and it’s likely going to be like any other campaign where it’s replaced when the bus goes for repairs or when the old readers crap out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully future updates fix this From what I’ve noticed with the new readers. If you try to tap a Presto card when it’s still in your wallet/phone case it will attempt to read any credit cards if one is present) . It seems the new readers are also set up to accept them (I tried my Apple Pay on one and the reader did pick up on it though the transaction was declined).

Eventually they will, right now I’m noticing it’s the more worn out cards that have the most trouble. Like the original readers it’ll take some time to smoothen out, I was hoping for faster readers like Compass in Vancouver but it doesn’t seem to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
