Let’s have a guess. I’m waiting a train 🚂

Posted schedule says it comes in exactly 12 minutes.

Screens are not working so I don’t know on which platform.

While I wait, I roamed around the station.

The fare vending machine is out of order, so you can’t buy any fares if you need any.

It seems that the Interac reader can’t connect over USB to the computer; its LED display shows an error for USB.

@EdwinG If the card reader is broken, they should just sell you fares without charging your credit card and apologize for not charging you for the fares :-)

@jfmezei Not in that scenario personally 😅

I don’t remember what they told me to do when I really was in a situation where I was stranded because the FVM was broken.

I recall taking the train without paying, with proof of the impossibility to pay on my phone.

@EdwinG For EXO trains: when fare validator is broken, you need to take a picture of it with the red light and show it to the controller if you are checked.

@jfmezei It’s the FVM that was bwoken, not the validator.

I remember that it wasn’t the answer. I think they told me to call them when it happens.
