Children ages 6 to 12 can ride free with PRESTO

Student with backpackStarting May 1, 2023, children ages 6 to 12 can ride free on MiWay with a PRESTO card.

This update is part of a one-year pilot program that MiWay is introducing to make transit even more affordable for customers.

In order for children ages 6 to 12 to ride free on MiWay, they will need a PRESTO card set to pay the Child fare type before they board the bus.

Children ages 5 and under can also ride free on MiWay when they are accompanied by a fare paying customer.

To set the fare type on a PRESTO card, please visit a Customer Service Outlet and show proof of age. PRESTO cards that aren’t set to a specific fare type will be charged the Adult PRESTO single fare.

MiWay will compile and assess the data to evaluate the pilot program and provide a report back to Council for consideration in fall 2023.
