Calgary Transit cancels Connect card, vows legal action to recover money
After five years, two contracts, and $5 million, Calgary Transit has pulled the plug on its electronic fare system.
Citing reliability issues with the system and the supplier, Schneider Electric, the city announced Tuesday it would not move ahead with its Connect system.
“As the system deals with customer funds and Calgary Transit revenues, intermittent failures of the system would be unacceptable,” Calgary Transit said in a release. “Based on the testing, the EFC system could negatively impact the customers’ experience in paying their fares.”

This is just embarrassing at this point. How in this day and age, are we at the point of not having a system at all? Are decision makers this inept?
