👉OC Transpo in Ottawa now accepts credit cards and mobile wallets for adult fare payments on all buses and LRT gates. They're the first in Canada to introduce fare capping, ensuring that daily charges won't exceed the cost of a day pass ($11.25) or a monthly pass ($125.50) as long as the same card or mobile wallet is consistently used. Riders should note that paper transfers will no longer be provided, and credit cards and mobile wallets are treated as separate payment methods, even if linked.✅ . . #OCTranspo #PublicTransport #ContactlessPayments #MobileWallet #CreditCardPayments #TransitPayment #OttawaNews #mnm #malayalisnearmeapp #canadaupdate #canadanews

👉London city councillors Shawn Lewis and Peter Cuddy propose a two-year pilot project to provide free London Transit (LTC) passes to Grade 9 students at Clarke Road Secondary School, aiming to enhance bus ridership and punctuality for students. The initiative, supported by the LTC board and Thames Valley District School Board, seeks to familiarize students with public transit and facilitate participation in extracurricular activities and part-time jobs. Funding sources, including reserve funds and government grants, are being explored, with the pilot's continuation contingent on sufficient ridership. Similar successful programs in municipalities like Oakville and Kingston offer precedents for the initiative's potential impact on transit usage.✅ .

👉Starting next month, GO Transit will introduce mandatory inspections for e-bikes before boarding, announced by Metrolinx on Monday. Following earlier announcements regarding certification requirements, e-bikes will now undergo scrutiny for specific certifications and receive tamper-proof seals if compliant. Vehicles will enforce removal of e-bikes with unsafe batteries, prompted by a recent incident involving an e-bike battery fire in a TTC subway car. David Shellnutt of The Biking Lawyer LLP emphasizes the importance of informing the public about the upcoming crackdown and their rights. Metrolinx stipulates UL or CE compliance for e-bike batteries, with no physical damage allowed.✅ . 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐓𝐀 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐫.
