Hopefully you can only pay for a set amount with Credit card or hopefully they have been able to work out some reduced fee with the credit card companies.
I am all for allowing someone to use a CC for a 4 + ticket purchase, but 1 ticket seems almost too convenient as to increase the costs that CT already has.
The one thing they do need to change and hopefully this does is the ability to purchase more than 1 ticket. Why that limitation is even in place is beyond me.

Perhaps Calgary Transit should start allowing payment in shillings, pence, and farthings, old chap!
I do understand what you're saying, although I'm not sure if the credit card company is paid a simple percentage, of if there is a fixed cost per transaction added as well. Regardless, until they get a reloadable card going, I have no problem paying a one-way fare on credit or debit if I don't have coins with me.
Someone still has to be paid to empty the coins from the machines, take them to the bank, and I imagine that the bank has fees for large coin deposits, etc. so it isn't as if coins don't come with their owns costs and challenges.
