Transit basics

What is PRESTO?

PRESTO is a reloadable fare card used on most Ontario transit systems. Tap the card on the yellow reader when you board, and tap again on GO Transit and UP Express when you exit.

How transfers work

A transfer means changing from one bus, subway or train to another. With PRESTO, transfers are usually free within a 2-hour window on most Ontario systems.

Fare payment options

Most agencies accept PRESTO, contactless credit/debit, and cash. Exact-change cash is fine on TTC buses; PRESTO or contactless is easiest for transfers.
