Seniors ages 65 and older can ride MiWay for free with a PRESTO card set to the senior fare type. Seniors can set the fare type on their card by visiting a customer service outlet and showing proof of age. PRESTO cards that are not set to a specific fare type will be charged the $3.50 Adult PRESTO single fare (starting January 1, 2026).
Transit customers can add a free digital PRESTO card to their Apple or Google Wallet on their mobile phone or buy a physical PRESTO card for $4 and set the senior fare type — on either a physical or digital card — at a customer service outlet listed below:
When boarding, seniors must tap their PRESTO card set to the senior fare type to receive the free fare, otherwise, they will need to pay the $4.50 cash fare (starting January 1, 2026). PRESTO cards can be used on all transit agencies in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), and Ottawa.

Make the most of your PRESTO card by enjoying free transfers with Ontario’s One Fare Program. MiWay riders can transfer for free to the TTC, GO Transit, Brampton Transit, Oakville, Durham Region Transit, or York Region Transit, making travel across the region easier. To transfer for free, customers must use the same fare payment method — PRESTO card or open payment — each time they board a bus during their travel. If you start your trip on a MiWay bus, your free transfer will be active for two hours from when you first tap your card. If you start your trip on a GO train or GO bus, your transfer will be active for three hours from when you first tap your card.
All MiWay buses are accessible. The low floor, kneeling buses have ramps to help passengers board and exit the bus. There is also priority seating on MiWay buses — priority seats at the front of the bus are reserved for people of all ages with mobility issues and other disabilities.
All buses verbally and visually announce each upcoming bus stop. Stop information is also displayed visually on digital display signs onboard the bus.
