jsburbidgeFor the next few months, the Wellesley buses which normally have a connection inside the Wellesley subway station are stopping on the street, due to construction in the station.
They have notices that Presto card users need to transfer using a paper transfer - supposed to be rendered obsolete by Presto - to avoid being charged twice (i. e. a tap on to the bus will be counted as a new trip rather than a continuation of a trip).
This in turn indicates that their system is inflexible and probably unmaintainable.

GO is a problem because of the charge by zones model which requires tsp-off as well as tsp-on. The suburban services work, because they rely on a simple timed validity model. (Not sure about the fact that YRT has two zones, because I've never travelled between them.)
