caption_attribution_description: English: The notice asks Presto users to tap their Presto card or Presto ticket on the Presto reader every time they board a TTC surface vehicle.
context_page_description: Fares to use the Toronto Transit Commission transit system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, can be paid with various media. The price of fares varies according to the age, occupation, or income level of riders; children 12 years of age or under can ride on the TTC free of fare.
  For the payment of fares, the TTC principally uses Presto fare media, specifically Presto cards and Presto tickets, both of which use Presto readers to charge fares and validate transfers.
  Effective 1 December 2019, the TTC discontinued the sale of legacy fare media at its subway stations. Tokens and tickets may continue to be available for purchase at some third-party vendors. Cash, tokens, and senior, student and youth tickets are paid directly to the fare box located on all TTC buses and at staffed TTC subway station entrances. On streetcars, passengers paying by cash or tokens pay their fare at one of the two fare vending machines at the second and third doors of the vehicle; customers paying with senior, student or youth tickets use the TTC ticket validator box located beside the fare vending machines. The TTC has not yet set a date when it will stop accepting legacy fare media.

The price of fares varies according to the age, occupation, or income level of riders; children 12 years of age or under can ride on the TTC free of fare.
  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.
  Effective 1 December 2019, the TTC discontinued the sale of legacy fare media (tokens, senior and youth tickets, GTA weekly passes, non-electronic day passes) at its subway stations. Tokens and tickets may continue to be available for purchase at some third-party vendors. Cash, tokens, and senior, student and youth tickets are paid directly to the fare box located on all TTC buses and at staffed TTC subway station entrances. On streetcars, passengers paying by cash or tokens pay their fare at one of the two fare vending machines at the second and third doors of the vehicle; customers paying with senior, student or youth tickets use the TTC ticket validator box located beside the fare vending machines. The TTC has not yet set a date when it will stop accepting legacy fare media. As of 1 December, the TTC continues selling tokens and concessionary tickets to school boards and social service agencies until Presto bulk sales become available. Eventually, all legacy fare media will be phased out, and Presto will be the only accepted form of payment in the system.
