I didn't make the cut. I suspect I'm not a frequent-enough transit user!

Same here. It was nice of them to send out a rejection email, though!

They will keep our names on file for future betas. I feel like I'm applying for jobs again.

Yup. I'm a cash/ticket buyer, which was specified in the e-mail, so I was told pick-up between March 1 and 9.

I hadn't known about the 20% discount. Bonus.

I wasn't selected. Oh well. Sad Hopefully the beta period will be short and they do a full roll out soon.

Cambridge AND/OR Kitchener.

So they're not sure of which city or both? That's how I am reading it.

Going to be good times as the two cities duke it out for superiority. Shall be buying popcorn for this main event.
Meanwhile in Waterloo.......
