PRESTO

Discover the convenience of managing your transit fare with the PRESTO app, the all-in-one solution for on-the-go card management that simplifies your commute. This application primarily serves the purpose of allowing users to quickly and efficiently load their cards, transforming smartphones into powerful tools for seamless travel across various transit systems.

With PRESTO, instant fare loading is at your fingertips using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Effortlessly add funds or transit passes to your card with a simple tap, choosing your preferred payment method such as Google Pay or debit/credit cards. This platform also supports multiple cards, enabling the management of up to 10 cards effortlessly, making it ideal for group travel needs.

One of the standout features of this system is the ability to convert a physical card into a digital card within Google Wallet. Please note, this feature is not available for OC Transpo users. Once digital, users can enjoy real-time updates regarding card balances and transactions. For those preferring the traditional card, checking balances and reviewing transaction history is clear and accessible.

The app ensures patrons are always ready to travel with Autoload and Autorenew options, which can be easily tailored to individual preferences. Additional conveniences include reminders when the balance is low or when a pass is nearing expiration, ensuring uninterrupted travel.

Maximizing travel efficiency, it also allows patrons to purchase new cards and create an account directly from the platform. For GO Transit rail users, setting a default trip through the app's settings is a time-saving feature. It serves multiple transit networks including Brampton Transit, Burlington Transit, Durham Region Transit, and many others in the Greater Toronto and surrounding areas.
