Set your fare type

You can set the fare type on your PRESTO card to Child (ages 6 to 12), Youth (ages 13 to 19) or Senior (ages 65 and older) by visiting a Customer Service Outlet and showing proof of age.

PRESTO cards that are not set up with a specific fare type will be charged the Adult PRESTO single fare.

Load your PRESTO card

You can load your PRESTO card online through the PRESTO website, through the PRESTO app or in person at a Customer Service Outlet.

Using PRESTO on the bus

Tap your card on the PRESTO card reader when you board the bus. Your transfer is active for two hours from when you first tap your card on the bus. The devices are designed to process one card at a time, so make sure you’re tapping only your PRESTO card against the reader (not your entire wallet filled with cards) to pay your fare.
