Caltrain/Translink
My short response to them was
| “ | Hello,
Please be reminded that this message was sent out only once and only to those that were members in November of last year. Those who have enrolled in Translink since have not received any notices. I'm also not sure what you mean by your statement that the service is "not active" since the readers on some stations are very much active and will deduct money from your account without thinking twice. Perhaps you would at least lift a finger to look into my transaction history and notice that this was indeed the case. I appreciate your offer to adjust the balance on my account. |

They come back with this gem. Note that they are still acting like they aren't at fault here. Template:Quuote My follow-up:
| “ | Hello,
Regardless of the what the website says, the readers are turned on. For example, when I go on BART, it is physically impossible for me to use my card, because when I try to tag it, the BART reader gives an error. Caltrain readers, on the other hand, simply deduct money from the account and give no warning; then, Caltrain fare inspectors refuse to acknowledge that something like that could happen. I'd also like to ask you when it became a prerequisite to visit some website before riding on public transit? I do all my planing by phone through 511. In addition, public transit sites are notorious for having extremely out-of-date information, so why would Translink be any different? Paul Borokhov |
