What is PRESTO?


PRESTO is an electronic fare payment system that helps make travelling on transit easy and convenient at a discounted fare. The more you travel on GO Transit the more you save.

PRESTO Card

Buy a card, load it, and set your fare type. Discounts available for adults, youth, post-secondary students and seniors. Then create a PRESTO Account to add your card and access great benefits like balance protection.

Adult Fare with PRESTO - Save 15%+

Number of Trips

Discount++

1 through 35

15.7% off**

36 to 40

88.3% off**

41 or more

100% off**

If you do not take the exact same trip each time you travel on GO within a calendar month, your first 35 rides on GO will be 15.7%** off the single-ride adult fare. For trips 36 and onwards, your discount will be based on the value of the trips you’ve taken that month. To earn these discounts, you’ll need to use the same form of payment for all your trips – you can’t combine payments on a PRESTO card, PRESTO in Google Wallet, credit card, and debit card.

Youth & Post-Secondary Students save 40% on GO with PRESTO.

Seniors save 55% on GO with PRESTO.

Set up Autoload

The Autoload feature reloads your PRESTO card automatically when your balance drops below a dollar amount which you choose.

Set Your GO Default Trip on the PRESTO App

Make missed tap offs a thing of the past by setting up a GO Default Trip. With a couple of simple clicks in the PRESTO App, you can make it so your main daily GO trip only requires you to tap on. Forget about waiting at the machine to tap off, just arrive and go!

Forgot to Tap Off?

If you forget to tap off at the end of your trip, an amount for Missed Tap Off or Underpayment will be deducted from your PRESTO card or charged to your credit or debit card at the start of your next trip in the GO network.
