Loading process problems

I load the card sporadically and use it about 8-10 times a year. Every single time I use it I have issues reactivating and auto loading. This time it won’t accept my credit card but I used the same card to purchase a single ticket. Very frustrating.

Easy

It is so easy to load funds easy to use, and you can use it on many Transit service services.

Glitchy App Costs Me More Than I Save

This app frequently doesn’t tap off properly. It’ll make a noise, flash a green checkmark, and then asses me a No Tap charge later at night. Has cost me easily almost $100 in junk fees. Easily the worst app I have.
