Fares and Fare Collection

Opening concern

- the technology for fares has been decided on before the fare system has been discussed/deliberated on by citizens and end-users

-    Ministry of Transport decided on Presto card system, Metrolinx has inherited this

-    The Presto card is based on RFID technology

-    Questions:

o    How did the bid process work for the fare system?

o    Will the technology drive how our fare system is designed?  What is the fare system we want?


Concerns with current TTC and or regional fare system

-    Monthly/weekly passes are set to fixed calendars

-    Prices are almost fixed (i.e. only minimal discounts for families on weekend)

-    Not seamless, lack of integration across systems

-    You can’t run an errand (i.e. there and back journey)

-    Lack of co-operation between levels of government: city, provincial, federal (power struggles)

-    Ownership and governance: we pay taxes and use transit systems in different areas   


Areas to build in:

-    Creativity (the flexibility of the fare system is important)

-    Sponsorships/partnerships

-    Integration with banking systems for payment; also not tied to banking systems to allow for maximum accessibility

-    Loyalty program

-    Coordination TTC (i.e. regional authorities bought into fare integration before TTC)


Where do we want to go?

-    Presto can accommodate fare based, zone based

-    What kind of flexibility can be built into the system to increase access for the broadest base of citizens (and be financially efficient for transit)

o    Zones (rings)

o    Time (literally how long you are on the system)

o    Flat fares

o    Fare by distance

-    The issue of more subsidies (through taxation) may be required to make improvements

 

Zones discussion

-    There are a lot of issues with deciding where the “rings” are or “borders” if we make zones

-    Where do we start the ring? Union? Bloor and Yonge?

-    One idea to form the rings: 416 vs. 905

-    “Cheap” or free downtown systems (Salt Lake City is one model)   


What should inform the fare system

-    What is equitable? i.e. who should pay more? Who can afford to pay more?

-    ‘green factor’

-    What is economically sustainable?

-    How convenient is the system? Many people will pay more not to line-up

-    What are people willing to pay for (i.e. premium express fare systems?)

The handbags on sale has gained most fame from its most iconic fashion necessities, including legendary driving shoes and real designer handbags. The driving shoe is known for haute and comfortable while the replica handbags impresses its fanfare as most simple yet extremely classic. However, I am afraid this is not the case with this tods frange media wholesale handbags and purses, which retrieves the exotic bohemian wholesale designer handbags tradition. As to the wholesale handbags name, the French word "frange" means fringe in English. That makes sense, which means the Gucci Handbags is as appealing as those tassel fashion Louis Vuitton Handbags from jimmy choo. Most of the time, fringes decorated tods Hermes Handbags brings a leisure style, but this time, definitely not. There are all together three layers of fringes, each of which lies orderly and neatly. Whats more, the caffe nubuck material is very touchable. This tods frange media Chloe Handbags is not only appealing but also very functional. It measures 15.7" high, 11.4" wide and 9.4" deep so that the Prada Handbags is spacious enough to hold your everyday objects. Besides, it has interior zip pocket for holding extra essentials. This Italy made designer purse features snap closure. The gold tone brass buckles trimmed on the Miu Miu Handbags add a lot of glamour to the whole dull Coach Handbags body. The Fendi Handbags can be worn in two styles, one of which is via double shoulder straps and the other is via a long messenger strap. How do you like this Marc Jacobs Handbags? It is available at a price of $1, 695.00. Find more high replica purses on sale. I have really been obsessing about birds lately and I think these are so cute! But these arent just any birds, they are swallows! They symbolize life, love, and hope… even enduring happiness (after all, swallows do mate for life). How cool is that? This Balenciaga Handbags would make a great mood-lifter for a rainy day! But you could certainly use it as an everyday, kick around Juicy Couture Handbags as well. Nylon is pretty durable, you know! Plus the color is perfect for this coming Fall, neutral but a step away from boring black!Nobody is willing to stick to outdated garment, tacky jewels and old-fashioned accessaries. People want things in fashion. So brands just serve this poupose but their products usually cost an arm and a leg. Most people think that the better thing you want to get, the higher price you should pay. Usually this is the truth. If you are not really rich, when looking at the beautiful new Jimmy Choo Handbags within the famouse brand shops, you may sigh, thinking that they will just appear on your winddow-shopping list. However, the idea with quality and price is not always true, theres another way to change your life, and that will be letting replica stuff come to your rescue. To be a person in vogue, Loewe Handbags are a must. They can be seen carried on the arms of people all over the world and let them win much higher rate of second glance. But Christian Dior Handbags get you the very same quality and design, with combination of style and color, without the exorbitant prices. To find out about the Wallet-Louis-Vuitton is hell difficult for ordinary people, and even hard for the professionals. These Hermes Wallet are made with the best of GUCCI Wallet, which makes them look so very real and authentic. Other people just can see the fabulous design, and the same high quality outside and inside. All the accessories, like the buttons, zips and rivets also act well in durability. So theres no reason to pay such a high price to buy a genuine one.Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy is also the hottest item of the Dolce Gabbana Handbags Spring/Summer 2008 line, which is said to be released in the US on May 1, 2008. The Yves Saint Laurent Handbags has not yet been officially announced. Another piece of information that everyone is uncertain of is the price. The early look book says the Thomas Wylde Handbags will be $1,185 but I have heard prices going up to $1,600. My wonderful SA at Bal Harbour did some research and believes it will be around $1,300. The next piece of information that has caused much confusion is its size. While the Louis Vuitton Speedy is available in a size 30 and 35, this Mulberry Handbags is said to only come in size 35. The monogram pattern is designed with colors of orange, red, and yellow, being painted looking like they were painted on with watercolor paint. This Versace Handbags has an incredibly long wait list at many stores and the masses are clamoring to get the next big Speedy. For more information, you can always check eLuxury also. While I am viewing the web pages of purseblog.com, I am immediately attracted by the beautiful color of the Marni Handbagsor Bally Handbags. With a color so fresh and bright, it gives me a sense of coolness. Wallet was newly launched for Spring/Summer 2008. Although much of the information on this new AH Handbags from Louis Vuitton is still not set-in-stone and we have all heard conflicting stories, information, prices, release dates, etc. But you know a Giverchy Handbags is a sure hit when the rumors begin (sick but true!). It has drawn so much attention.
