What a surprise, right? http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/aug/24/setbacks-bedevil-compass-card/?metro Also LADOT CityRide conversion to TAP is not as smooth as this Daily News piece tries to make it seem. I read the letter LADOT sent (a member brought it to the last SO.CA.TA meeting) and it is confusing, poorly worded, etc. They want you to send a check to get six months of Metro passes but it isn't clear whether this would be to be loaded on a TAP senior/disabled card you have obtained or would LADOT provide the card. Process is no explained. Very screwed up. http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_13181957 Folks need to see this–Cubic’s COMPASS card, much like TAP, is having troubles in its roll out in San Diego County.
