The Great Presto Migration: Toronto to Ottawa, No Problem!
That's right, folks! The Presto card is like a super chill travel companion. It transcends the often-petty rivalries between these two great cities. Toronto Presto? Ottawa Presto? Pah! They're all just one big, happy Presto family! Well, maybe not family, but a very convenient network of transit systems that accept your payment method with open arms (or should we say, Presto readers?).
QuickTip: The more attention, the more retention.
So, How Does This Magic Work?
It's easier than dodging a rogue goose on Parliament Hill (hey, it's happened!). Simply tap your Toronto Presto card on the reader when you board an OC Transpo bus or hop on the LRT. Presto (see what we did there?) will deduct the appropriate fare, ensuring a smooth and stress-free journey.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
Important Note: Monthly passes are a bit of a homebody. They tend to stick with the city they were issued in. But for pay-as-you-go folks, you're golden!
Note: Skipping ahead? Don’t miss the middle sections.
But Wait, There's More!
The magic of Presto extends far beyond the borders of Ottawa and Toronto. This little card is your key to unlocking a world of public transit across 11 different agencies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (the GTA, for those in the know) and our nation's capital! From zipping around on the TTC to exploring the Hamilton Street Railway, Presto has you covered.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
Now, that's what we call convenience with a capital C (or maybe a capital O for Ottawa?).
