Bit off topic, I saw from my GO train that they were doing some work with the UP Express clock at Union. Any reason?

PRESTO upgrade PRESTO is upgrading its system to enable a pilot project for PRESTO fare payment on para-transit vehicles. There will be a temporary, planned interruption of PRESTO services overnight beginning on July 31 and on to August 1. PRESTO cardholders will be able to tap and pay for...

OK, I assume you use a metropass for the majority of your travel. Ok, so Tapping at Bathrust and transferring at Spadina for a streetcar, is considered a continuous trip which is within the transfer rules. If you are challenged by the fare inspector, communication is a great tool in today's...

Its because PRESTO is not the official farecard at the moment and its on going implementation as well, nor it has replaced any other fare media. That's why its not "characterized" as one.

Theoretically, paying using PRESTO is paying for a token in stored cash value which is $2.80. The TTC always reminds customers after they pay your fare, you must get a transfer as PoP, even at the transfer machines. You should always get a transfer at the beginning of your trip. The Spadina...

I'm not too fond with the TTC by-law, can you provide the section of the by-law that you just mentioned?

The bus driver forces you to pay the surcharge. If you don't pay the surcharge, then that's fare evasion which is enforced by the TTC. Paying the surcharge is not a law, it is a rule and a necessity to ride the downtown express routes. Its an option for commuters seeking a faster ride downtown...

The TTC PoP video tells you to get a transfer after you tap your card, and keep it for the duration of your trip. Metrolinx/PRESTOq, says its optional, you only need it if transferring to another route. Their PRESTO CSAs also told me that. And as for the inspection scanners, a TTC TSO twetted...

Sydney's Opal Card has a 1 hour period that allows for free trips during that period, as long as you board the same mode of transportation (Bus,Ferry) within that hour. That's one way.

In 2017 is when Open Payments and Mobile Payments will be enabled, so I don't have to worry which card was deducted. Apparently, development for a PRESTO App is in the works. And it'll be capable of having your card on your phone. The software that will be used in Toronto will be capable of...

I only use my card on the TTC when there's a station equipped with one just to get some usage on my card, even though I have a metropass. I don't always have the will-power to open my wallet and take out my metro pass sometimes, so just tap and go...

At least the TTC is not the one in charge of the PRESTO roll out, Metrolinx/Accenture is. But you can't trust them as well. Eventually every entrance will have a reader, including automated entrances. But Metrolinx/Accenture does not tell us when. When we ask, they say "we don't know when, but...

Just watch this video to make your lives easier... All about the tax credit.

Museum Station is PRESTO Enabled. Queen Station is the only station remaining for implementation in Wave 1. I had my doubts on Accenture/Metrolinx to implement the 10 Stations by July, I stand corrected. Now we wait for further implementation at subway stations and the roll out on all streetcars...

Museum is FINALLY getting PRESTO soon...
