MVMs still not accepting debit/credit cards

Posted by Allan on Tue Oct 10 12:40:51 2017

The MTA took the ability of MVMs/MEMs to accept debit/credit cards last Friday (10/6) at about 11:45 PM for software upgrades. The system was supposed to be up on Saturday by 8:45 AM (with a stated possibility of Sunday at 8:45 AM).

Well as of today (Tuesday 10/10) at about 12 Noon the system is still not up and running. Most MVMs say 'cash only'. and none of the MEMs are doing anything.

What is going on with the MTA. They really did a FUBAR this time.

Why do all at once, why not a rolling update. Something simple like week 1: odd numbered MVMs, week 2: even numbered ones?

Wouldn't the update involve the central servers that the MVMs communicate with?

Yes.

It's much like an update to an MMO game. Everything on the network needs to be in sync. You can't have some running the old code, some running the new code and some running an even newer one created when a mistake was discovered.

When your ride an NJT bus, through multiple zone, and have enroute transfers, with their antique fare structure and 1970's technology, you better have your own McGill Changer on you. There's no Metrocard here.
