TTC has now rolled out PRESTO at every subway station

 

The TTC has now rolled out PRESTO at every subway station across the transit network.

 

PRESTO-- an electric fare card that can be used on the TTC, GO Transit and other GTA-area transit services-- has already been installed on all TTC streetcars and on the majority of the transit network’s 1,900 buses.

 

TTC spokesperson Brad Ross told CP24 Thursday that they expect PRESTO will "go live" today at Coxwell Station, which is the last station to come online.

The new gates are in place at 44 stations and 75 entrances. The final phase of installation will take place in some of TTC's busiest stations, which will necessitate some weekend and weeknight closures.
