You should demand more P1/P2s then, not be forced to take an extra 15-20 min detour through Oakland and Uptown. And I venture to say most people would not be willing to take that detour you are, you in the minority.

P1/P2 Downtown P3 Oakland

Simple, nobody gets confused.

No ones going to take that longer detour through Oakland on the P3… They will still crowd onto P1 P2. I remember when they tried to stop P2s from entering downtown, it served no purpose but make P1 that more crowded….

Heads at PRT couldnt be more “I work for transit, but damn if you ever catch me riding the bus” out of touch people.

Just a caveat to add - Mobile Ticketing doesnt NOT work on the T, so you will need to use a ConnectCard.

From the back n forth dialogue I saw on Twitter with PRT .... PRT seems to be in the process of moving to a unified NFC payment system like other Transit Systems with proper fare payment technology (NYC's OMNY, Chicago's Ventra). So the current Mobile Ticketing may never get going on the T.
