Not happy with changes to the gate card system

staff says that "This project will take approximately 24 weeks, with a six week lead time on equipment. Each gate will be converted one at a time, and we will run the two systems as the work takes place. With that said, both systems will not be operated at the same location at the same time – each gate will be on one system or the other."

My card is still working and I have not heard from others using their cloned card to say that their card doesn't work. If cloned cards are still working by the end of April, I would suggest that cloned cards will work with the new system.

And, I personally believe it's a better system than using the old cards and much safer.
