Toronto Transit Commission fares

Fares to use the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) transit system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, can be paid with various media. The price of fares varies according to age (concessions for seniors aged 65 and over, youth aged 13 to 19, and free fares for children aged 12 and under), occupation (discounts for post-secondary students), income level, and health condition of riders (Fair Pass program).[1][2]

For the payment of fares, the TTC uses Presto fare media, which are tapped on Presto readers to charge fares and validate transfers. Fare media includes Presto cards (multiple-use, stored-value, electronic fare cards), Presto tickets (single-use, electronic paper tickets)[3] and open payment (credit and debit cards).[4] Legacy fare media (cash, tokens and legacy tickets) are still accepted to pay fares but tokens and legacy tickets are no longer sold to the general public.[5]
