Toronto Transit Commission edit
While all other transit systems in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton will have the card fully implemented,[1] the Toronto Transit Commission has at present only committed to implement the card at twelve of its major subway stations. As the majority of commuters in the GTA use the TTC, the full implementation of Presto within the TTC would greatly benefit the usability of the farecard. The TTC has approved the use of a smartcard system [2] and is working with Presto in addressing the TTC’s business requirements for “full” system participation.[3] The project has received $140 million in funding from the provincial and federal governments, however the TTC has estimated in its 2009-2013 budget that the project would take $365 million to complete.[4]
