From the report.

Since August 31, 2019, Winnipeg Transit has completed installation of all RPass 3
software units at merchant partner locations (as of November 8th, 2019). Feedback on
this system has been positive, as transaction times have been reduced from an average
of 57 seconds per transaction to an average of 8 seconds per transaction. System
functions such as end-of-day reports are now also easier to navigate for merchant
partner users.
Since August 31, 2019 Winnipeg Transit has been conducting a field test of farebox
firmware that increases the speed of peggo card taps at the farebox. The time required
for a tap at the farebox has been reduced from an average of 1.4 seconds to an
average of below 0.5 seconds. Increasing tap speeds allows for a faster boarding
process for riders, thus improving Transit’s on-time performance. As well, increased tap
speeds will reduce the likelihood of card errors resulting from cards being removed from
the card reader before data has finished transferring. As of November 2019, the field
test has been expanded to 40 buses, and results have been positive.
Transit staff are currently evaluating whether the criteria have been met to accept
Milestone 2.6, and anticipate that the milestone will be accepted in December 2019.

In the report it also says they spent 100% of the budget, but are only 87% complete with the program.
