Can you use PRESTO on TTC and GO train?

Seamless Transit: Using PRESTO Between TTC and GO

Navigating the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) often involves switching between GO Transit and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). Thankfully, PRESTO card integration makes this transfer smooth and affordable. Whether you’re heading into the city core on GO and then hopping on the TTC or vice-versa, your PRESTO card acts as your seamless connection.

Forget about fumbling for separate fares. Simply tap your PRESTO card (whether a physical card or loaded onto your smartphone’s digital wallet) on a PRESTO device when entering both the GO and TTC systems. Even better, you can also use your credit or debit card equipped with tap functionality. This integrated fare system automatically calculates the discounted fare, effectively making the TTC portion of your trip free.

The beauty of this system lies in its bi-directional functionality. It doesn’t matter if you’re starting your journey on GO and transferring to the TTC, or beginning on the TTC and then catching a GO train or bus. The integration applies in both directions, providing consistent savings.

PRESTO’s intelligent system recognizes the transfer between the two transit systems and automatically credits your account with the equivalent of a TTC fare. This eliminates the need to purchase separate tickets and streamlines the entire travel experience. It’s a cost-effective and efficient way to navigate the GTHA, making public transit a more attractive option for commuters. So, next time you’re travelling between GO and TTC, simply tap and go – your wallet (and your commute) will thank you.
