I'm also not buying the whole "Presto didn't respond to an RFP and we have unique customer needs" line anymore. The RFP thing is just ridiculous and could presumably have been resolved with some basic communication. The "unique customer needs" they list are "the ability to accept payment on MobilityPLUS vehicles, the ability to integrate a U-Pass program and the ability to issue machine readable paper tickets from fare vending machines". These things are not issues in other public transit systems that use Presto, so what makes Waterloo a special snowflake?
