250$ fine for using the wrong fare
So yesterday I was fined 250$ for not using the AB fare for going to Montmorency from downtown.
Can we talk how 250$ is an insane amount? Especially for a 2$ difference in a ticket. I'll remember next time (I guess that's the point) but even speeding tickets aren't that high.
I have two STM cards that are almost identical, one for my A transit and the other with few AB tickets (I go to Laval at least once a week). It was early in the morning, didn't have my coffee and I took the wrong card. When the agent stopped me to check my card I wasn't thinking much because I thought I did use my AB card. He wanted none of it, gave me the fine, although I had valid AB tickets on my other card.
Sometimes I feel like it'd just be easier if the fare was applied only when leaving Laval and not going there.
