   @hydropsyche @wesley i was thinking this same thing. The gates and app have been upgraded twice in the last 10 years. Someone those only upgraded to what was really good previously and didn't get quite up to where we need to be.

   I'm still excited though. This plus the new trains can only make it better, and sitting on the forced capital budget makes no sense.

     Supposed to allow direct credit/debit card and mobile wallet payments, improved ticket vending machines, better fare gates at train stations, and better bus fare readers (among other things)

     @wesley On the one hand, this is good. On the other hand, didn't they spend a bunch of money to upgrade the whole Breeze system in 2018? (when they made us all buy new Breeze cards)
