TTCsystem

TTCsystem refers to the Toronto Transit Commission's integrated fare collection system. It allows passengers to pay for rides on buses, streetcars, and subways across the Greater Toronto Area. The system utilizes a reloadable smart card called the PRESTO card, as well as the PRESTO in App mobile ticketing option. Passengers tap their PRESTO card or scan their mobile ticket on a reader located at fare gates on the subway and on vehicles. Fares are automatically deducted from the card or mobile account. The TTCsystem is designed to streamline the fare payment process and provide a more convenient experience for riders. It supports various fare types, including adult, senior, youth, and post-secondary student fares, as well as monthly passes and daily passes. Transfers between different modes of transit are automatically applied when using a PRESTO card or mobile ticket within the allowed transfer period. The TTCsystem aims to improve efficiency and provide better data for transit planning and operations. It is part of a broader initiative to modernize public transit in the region.
