Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

[rbt]

The maximum a Presto Card can hold is $1000. If a card has $999.99 then the system will only allow a $.01 load.

That's interesting; they certainly weren't much over.

Interesting, the other day I took the TTC after taking the GO to Union Station and took another (non-transfer) trip shortly thereafter. Even though I expected to be charged a full $3 for that second trip because I thought I already "used" my GO co-fare, I was only charged $1.50 for it as well. I guess you can take as many trips with the subsidized fare on the TTC so long as it's within 2 hours upon tapping off the GO?

Where/when was your tap on for GO?

You mean my first tap? Bronte GO at 10:22am

Well, then your second TTC tap was outside of the 3 hour range, so at least that's ruled out.

Having presto single ticket still a year away is ridiculous

When will we get a "threshold" pass on Presto? Auto setting for daily, weekly, and monthly on PRESTO, without having to prepay for those passes?

It does seem a long time and I assume that as long as we have the current non-PRESTO tickets we will need to have transfers.

Isn’t that up to individual transit agencies?

I think it's been said a few time that the TTC is only looking at a daily and weekly rate capo. If you want a monthly pass by a metropass on your Presto card.

Presto is circulating a survey right now on different options for showing fare balance on TTC machines. It seems like those "accessibility concerns" might have been nonsense all this time.
