Fare changes on May 1, 2023

MiWay is introducing a one-year pilot program that makes transit service in Mississauga even more affordable. The program will allow children ages six to 12 to ride MiWay for free with a valid PRESTO card, and a $1 all-day fare for seniors 65 and older. This pilot will help inform future transit options while encouraging ridership, which has returned to pre-pandemic levels.

There are various locations in Mississauga, including Shoppers Drug Mart stores, where you can buy a PRESTO card and set it to either the Child or Senior fare type.

MiWay is also enhancing its PRESTO loyalty program. Starting May 1, once you pay for 11 rides during any one week (Monday to Sunday) using your PRESTO card, you can ride free on MiWay for the remainder of the week. Note that fares paid on other transit services and discounted GO co-fare payments do not count toward this program. Transfers also do not count as additional paid fares.

In addition to the new pilot programs, MiWay will be implementing other fare changes starting on Monday, May 1, which include:

  • Adult PRESTO single fare increases by $0.10 to $3.20
  • Youth PRESTO single fare increases by $0.10 to $2.45

This is the first fare increase MiWay customers have seen since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The last MiWay fare increase was in 2019.

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