Buying fares and passes

Buying a PRESTO card

• Buy a PRESTO card for $4 at a Fare Vending Machine at a station, at Shoppers Drug Mart or Loblaws location, or online at prestocard.ca. 

Loading a PRESTO card in a mobile wallet 

• Load a PRESTO card for free to your mobile wallet (13 years of age or older)

PRESTO cards are automatically set to deduct an adult fare. If you require a card to deduct a youth or senior fare, or want to load a TTC Post-Secondary Monthly Pass on a card, you must bring your card and government identification, or your TTC Post-Secondary Student Photo ID Card to Shoppers Drug Mart or Loblaws to have your card reset. 

Loading a PRESTO card with funds or a monthly pass

• You can load funds on your PRESTO card to pay-as-you-go, or load a monthly pass for unlimited travel each month. 
• You can do this at a Self-Serve Machine at a station, or at a Shoppers Drug Mart or Loblaws. 
• Monthly passes are available the last 12 days of the month until eight days after the start of a month.

Note: PRESTO cards must be reset to a youth, post-secondary, or senior fare type before a youth, post-secondary or senior monthly pass can be loaded on the card. Take government issued identification or your TTC Post-Secondary Student Photo ID to a Shoppers Drug Mart or Loblaws to have the card reset. 

Purchasing a PRESTO Ticket

• Buy a One-Ride, Two-Ride or Day Pass PRESTO Ticket from a Fare Vending Machine in a station, or at a Shoppers Drug Mart or Loblaws.
