Where is the data stored?
[edit]When something is "loaded on the card", is it actually stored on the card itself, or does the card merely provide a unique ID and the attached data is stored in a central database? —Naddy (talk) 14:45, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
Add Presto Controversy
[edit]Presto has been subject to many headlines, especially with the TTC. This includes presto gates failing, being subject to hacks, miscalculated fares on TTC, etc...
Is it appropriate to add a separate section such as Presto Incidents or Controversy?
- "Controversy" sections are, well, controversial. It's better to include (properly sourced) mention of any such incidents or coverage within the existing article where appropriate. This is addressed in WP:NPOV, specifically in WP:POVNAMING, WP:STRUCTURE, and WP:UNDUE. I would advise against a separate section given the NPOV policy but if properly sourced and widely covered by reliable sources, mention of issues with Presto is fine. —Joeyconnick (talk) 06:39, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
TTC participation
[edit]I propose moving the section Presto card#TTC participation to a new section, TTC fares#History#Presto fare media, in order to keep Toronto Presto history together. Entries in the rollout table (Presto card#Rollout)and a few other entries elsewhere would remain in the Presto card article. Thus, when a Presto event becomes history in TTC fares, we would move it to TTC fares#History#Presto fare media instead of Presto card#TTC participation. I would add Toronto Transit Commission fares to Presto card#See also. Any comments? TheTrolleyPole (talk) 20:16, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
- Where in Toronto Transit Commission fares#History are you proposing to put the "Presto fare media" section? I assume at the end since it's the most recent type of fare media? Anyway, I would keep the "TTC participation" section heading here, but migrate the content and add
{{see also|Toronto Transit Commission fares#Presto fare media}}
to that section. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:51, 20 June 2019 (UTC)- Done as per above suggestions. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 02:04, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
