does presto card monthly pass provides unlimited travel within toronto?
@VisitTorontoVideos Жыл бұрын
Within Presto you can buy a TTC monthly pass for unlimited travel within Toronto. But Presto itself doesn’t have monthly passes. They oversee multiple transit systems. However the TTC monthly pass is very expensive and not always worth it.
