Post-secondary PRESTO passes are now available for students

Starting today, October 24, post-secondary students are officially able to purchase a monthly PRESTO pass if they are enrolled at full-time in qualifying institutions.

Interested students must have a TTC photo ID in order to set their student fare type on their PRESTO card, purchase their pass and use it on the system.

Starting Oct. 24, post-secondary students can purchase a Post-Secondary Monthly Pass on PRESTO until Nov. 5. But you need your TTC post-secondary student ID first. Get yours today at the TTC’s photo centre at Sherbourne Station. Learn more https://t.co/fiZtFV4v2I pic.twitter.com/uMHkGPeois

The post-secondary monthly PRESTO card is available at PRESTO Fare Vending Machines, online or at Shoppers Drug Mart locations for $116.75.

Additionally, PRESTO customers who use the five Downtown Express bus routes can purchase and affix a sticker to the bottom left corner of their cards to pay for the second portion of the double fare. This sticker was previously only available to Metropass customers.

The TTC is discontinuing Metropasses as of December 31, 2018. For November and December, Metropasses will be available for purchase at collector booths and participating TTC fare agents.
