Word on the street is that MTA management wanted additional features coded in at the last minute to keep track of stats and fare difference between systems. As with any software project, adding features at the last minute requires you do to all your testing (and debugging!) all over again.

Those machines are operational, but if a bus/train doesn't have Translink turned on, then what do we do? Operators were instructed not to give out transfers... not even to those who lie and say that they are testers!

"By the spring", Gavin keeps saying. A second past May 31st there will be gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, rioting, human sacrifice, etc.

at least they are now "testing", vs just having them installed with NO info on them! Anyone get to try out the wifi on the 10 bus this morning?!!!!

Be careful what you wish for... and yes, it should be in an operational state. Try it before you grumble.
