This part I do not get. There are MANY problems with EasyGO--even if we leave aside the IMMENSE teething problems it had (remember when they wiped their entire database and started again? FFS!), and leave aside that it was late to deploy, and even after they were deployed the equipment broke constantly.

If you think EasyGO's problems were "IMMENSE", then, my friend, you know nothing about the problems PRESTO had.
Why did it take the TTC 3 years of testing (2009 to 2012) then a contract signed in 2012 that was supposed to be finished by 2016 but, thanks to multiple halts, was not done until 2019, and after that has had multiple system-wide outages, including one this year?
