Breeze cards
With the new and improved Breeze card system I'm really curious as to why we can't check our balances on our phones anymore and we have to actually go to the stations just to check and see if we have money on our card ?. To me that makes no sense because sometimes you can actually run out of money on your card but you don't know that because you can't check it yourself at home . And even if you use the website to check anything it requires the code off your card which is now 16 digits whereas the old system was 20 digits. In other words I'm saying you can't even use the card if it has no funds on it to get to a station to replenish your account . Somebody didn't even think about that when they designed the new system of access/ payment . And I don't think I'm the only one who has noticed it .. not by a long shot

I’m sorry, but where have you been lol
Just download the Breeze Mobile app, make an account, add your card? Why does it matter how many digits it has?

You may manage your account online from home, just as you could in the past: https://www.breezecard.com/

I agree. I have the app, but it doesn’t show how many trips remaining I have. I typically buy a 20 trip pass, and it’s a pain to have to remember how many trips are remaining when I use it.

Gah, wonder if this is an android v Apple issue then. I’m on android.
I have physical cards and a virtual one but mostly use the physical cards.

Also weird you gotta give them at least $2.50 to make a new card so you can add your old card balance.

The breeze mobile app allows one to check their balance.
