- Fares to use the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) transit system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, can be paid with various media. The price of fares varies according to age (concessions for seniors and youth, free for children 12 years of age and under), occupation (discounts for post-secondary students), and income level of riders (Fair Pass program). For the payment of fares, the TTC principally uses Presto fare media, specifically Presto cards (multiple-use, stored-value, electronic fare cards) and Presto tickets (single-use, electronic paper tickets), both of which use Presto readers to charge fares and validate transfers. Legacy fare media (cash, tokens and legacy tickets) are still accepted to pay fares but tokens and legacy tickets are no longer sold to the general public. In September 2022, Metrolinx and the TTC started to upgrade Presto readers in order to support open payment using credit and debit cards or mobile devices. Existing readers on Wheel-Trans vehicles were replaced in September 2022. Between October 2022 and January 2023, the 5500 Presto readers on buses and streetcars are to be upgraded followed by the upgrade of readers at subway station fare gates. Open payment is expected to be activated sometime in 2023. (en)
