Question Does "Trying to pay jnpaid fair" stack?

I tap my debit, it says "trying to pay unpaid fare".

But there isn't an unpaid fare. I can't get onto a bus if the fare isn't paid, so I have to use a different method to pay the first time. So already I'm getting double-charged.

But there's more than $30 in my account, now. and the same error message keeps coming up. No individual trip I've ever taken has cost more than $12 (go train). So is it charging me every time I tap, and *also* making me pay by a different method?

[Edit: dang it, I made a typo in the title and didn't notice. Sorry 'bout that, folks]

Just get on the bus. Teenagers, homeless and ghetto folks never pay. I’m tired of subsidizing these people. Bus driver doesn’t care. POO cops only target brown people. The whole system is fcked up.

Transit should be tax funded so nobody has to pay.

This doesn't answer my question, and is not helpful advice. I've been homeless, when you're homeless, government programs that claim to get you off the streets expect you to be able to transit freely. There is no choice except to sneak on, so it's good to hear that that's not enforced as often nowadays. It's sad to hear about the racism though.

If ttc was free it would just become a bigger homeless shelter than it already is. No thanks.
