Ah, I hadn't realized that about the corporate ones.
The school ones I've seen in use don't have photos.

They also outsource the work to a development agency who should know better, but they almost certainly compete on budget and have a lot of captured knowledge about the Region's processes, properties and expectations.

Photos are only being used for some specialized passes like the corporate pass. The list is somewhere on their website.

I'm just waiting for people to try using their “easy GO fare card” on GO.

Update: Just tried registering my card again and it worked. Guess it can take a bit of time then. Good to know...

Good to see that get reversed, I know several people who will be happy to know this.

Yes. I had like 2 reduced tickets left over from when dad was up to visit a couple of years ago. I wonder if they will add the price to a normal adult card (pro rated of course)

Awesome!
Now the hardest decision... get a card now, or wait until ion launch, when there might be a “special edition” card with an LRV pictogram on it?

We could always make special WRC "launch edition" ID card labels (with the ION graphics!), and just apply those on top of the standard fare card.
