A new PRESTO card will cost $6. You can buy or load a PRESTO card online through the PRESTO website, through the app or in person at a Customer Service Outlet.

You can preload a MiWay monthly pass onto your PRESTO card or load funds to your PRESTO card to pay a single fare. When you load funds onto your PRESTO card online, it may take up to 24 hours to show up on your account.

PRESTO Monthly Passes are available 14 days before and after the start of a month and are valid for unlimited travel on MiWay during a calendar month.

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.
