A few weeks ago I lost my card holder that had my @PRESTOcard, @BikeShareTO, and @YMCA_Canada passes...

Storytime!

So, yeah, one night while I was taking #BikeBrampton home, I thought I heard and ran over something. It wasn't obvious at the time what that was, so I ignored it. I realized the next morning that it must have been my cardholder because it was missing.

I checked in with lost and found with the #Brampton @GOtransit to see if anyone had turned it in. Nobody had. I decided that I wasn't going to take the chance of someone using the cards. I cancelled all of the cards that were in the holder and ordered new ones.

I want to focus on my @PRESTOcard because this loss bothered me the most.

I was still using a first-generation card issued back in 2011 before @BramptonTransit adopted a mass rollout. It was about 3-4 years past its expiry date, but I figured as long as it still worked, then whatever.

My plan was to keep it after it expired. After all, I was using a @PRESTOcard before I had my @DahonBikes folding bike and before #BikeBrampton was a part of my life. It was a reminder of deciding to go #carfree, and the very thing that first enabled that for me.

Anyway. The last card I went to seek a replacement for was my @YMCA_Canada card. After I received the new card, I asked the person at the desk whether they had a lost and found on the off-chance that someone might have turned in my cardholder.

Someone did.

The cardholder had all of my cards still in it. Nothing was out of place. It's a reminder of just how great #Brampton can be.

And, this bad boy is getting archived.
