I'm starting University in the new year and it has already become annoying !!
right now, i drove to college everyday and never had to take the bus,metro,train ever.....same for my friends, we all drove there.
now, to get to university...i'm not gonna drive there.....takes too long and parking is crazy in downtown Montreal.
so i rather just take the train to downtown, the train station is near my house...down the street from me..... but the greedy transit company came up with a new fare system....before it was if you took the bus...you would get a ticket back to use the metro (underground train)....or just use the unlimited monthly pass for both...now there a new card with a chip on it where you fill it up with cash.......now you get charged at the bus and get charged again at the metro...double charging.....and they still want more money !!.....
so okay, i'll get the card with the chip then.....BUT
I got to fill an online form, the student version.....then print it.
then print my student transcript form my Unversity
then go to my university and get it stamped so show i really attend there..
then i have to go somewhere else to get my photo taken and then buy the card...
then go somewhere else to fill up the card and then i get to go home....
here's what the card looks like
