How to use public transportation in Toronto (TTC, Presto, apps, schedules) | Living in Canada

[@LivinginCanada]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since Rocketman has shut down, use the 'transit app instead. I made a video about how to use it a while ago: 'kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaeZaXicfLh8mcU

[@reubencarrick4320]

Other tips: Exit at the back door. Keep phone conversations short and quiet. Take your backpack off when you board. Don't crowd the front of the bus, move to the back and try to find a seat.

[@LivinginCanada]

Good ones!!

[@LivinginCanada]

Now I use transit! There's a video on that too in my playlist.

[@joseluisa.ortecho3494]

Everything excelent! Also, it's important to read in the subway the name of the stations if the lights of the subway or there's no sinchronisation of G.Maps with the station you want to go.

[@LivinginCanada]

Thanks!

[@amyl.9477]

Google Maps has improved so much over the years. I still remember the days when I’d say I want to go from Scarborough to downtown Toronto and it would tell me to take the GO train and how some addresses would be off by two or three blocks 😅

[@amyl.9477]

PS: I don’t use auto reload, I feel it’s too dangerous. If your chequing account is low auto reload can easily go into overdraft and you’d end up paying a lot extra. TTC now shows how much is left on your Presto card so I see no reason to use auto reload any more.

[@LivinginCanada]

lol!

[@LivinginCanada]

That won't happen as long as you set a low enough limit. E.g. if you set a threshold of $20 with autoreload of $20, your card will only get charged a maximum of $20 once your presto balance drops to $20. Also, I attach my credit card (instead of debit) to my presto account, so unless I'm close to my credit limit (which I never am), there's never a problem.

[@alistairt7544]

Thank you! I'm visiting Toronto for the first time from New York and any new public transportation system confuses me, so I gotta do some research first. I was hoping there's a way to just use our credit cards directly like the OMNY here in NY. I'll be in the city for 6 nights so perhaps, getting the Presto card is a decent option. Plus, it's a good souvenir too I guess lol

[@LivinginCanada]

Unfortunately that's not possible yet (on the TTC), so yes you'd need to get Presto. I actually prefer using presto rather than my credit card. Imagine how many times you take out your card everyday (especially if you're here longer!) and the card could easily get lost. On the other hand, if I lose the presto card (and registered it), I still keep the balance. Yes about the souvenir haha!

thank you so much for this video!! it’s helped me a lot, i did have a question tho- is only one person allowed to use the presto card? i’m traveling with 2 friends for 5 days and we are all going everywhere together, do we all need a presto card? or can i enter and use it and then hand it to my friend for her to use then once she’s done she hands it to the last friend; well mainly be using the street cars if that helps!! we’re trying to save money where we can and figured if we can use just one card we can save $12 buying 2 more lol- thank you!!!

[@LivinginCanada]

Different people can use the same Presto card, but not at the same time. So if you travel together, each of you would need to get one. If you’re only traveling for 5 days you can also consider buying single ride fares.

Thanks for the video. A lot of city transit systems are beginning to be set up to allow you to tap a credit card, as an alternative to the fare card, when entering the subway/bus. Does Toronto allow this?

[@Alex_07402]

Hi! Thanks for this video! I'm travelling to Toronto next week for 2 days, so I was wondering about the single fare. How does it work? Can I buy a ticket with cash and/or a card? How does the transfers work? 😊

[@LivinginCanada]

I've actually never purchased a single fare, but you can buy it either on the bus or from the fare vending machine. On the bus you pay cash, as far as I know but you can use card on the machines. For transfers I believe you need to get/print out what's called a pop (proof of payment). Anyone who's done this before, please feel free to add/correct!

[@glenn1970]

Hello. Very useful video. I’ve been in Toronto for a week now and my question might seem dumb but I’m still having trouble figuring out in which direction to take the subway or street car. I can’t seem to find in anywhere on streetcars stops or bus stops. And in the subway it usually only say southbound and northbound which I find confusing. Do you have a tip ?

[@LivinginCanada]

Thanks, glad to hear that! It's easiest to orient yourself by finding out what the last stops of a route is, and match that with the direction displayed on the subway/bus/streetcar. I would start with the route you take most frequently. E.g. subway line 2: Go to ttc.ca to get the map so you can see the stations along line 2. Westbound would go toward Kipling, while Eastbound would go toward Kennedy. It's the same for buses, e.g. "Humber loop" displayed on Bus 80 means it goes west. I hope I answered your question!

[@ahurafarahani7751]

Another tip I got is even if you can a presto card you should still grab a transfer when you get to a subway station and when you plan on switching from the subway to a bus or streetcar, it really helps because even when you are outside of the 2-hour window you can go with one fare and you can show that you already paid if lost. Edit just make sure your not reentering a subway station where you have to show your transfer because that isn’t allowed

[@jugalpatel276]

Can presto card be use for both bus travel and at the subway too? I heard that there is a special plan for students where we have to pay 120-130 CAD per month through which we can travel Toronto without any limits. So this includes both bus and subway, right?

[@ahurafarahani7751]

@@jugalpatel276 Yes that is what a presto card is for. If you are talking about a TTC bus then all you do is tap once and go on your way and you do not need to tap again until you leave the TTC system. If you are talking about YRT and GO transit a presto card also works except those systems will deduct their own fares. YRT 3.03 for youth/students under 18 and GO depends on where you are going though typically under 3 bucks. As for the monthly pass I think for students it is 119 dollars but you need to go to bathurst subway station to get your student ID I think but I would recommend you just pay with regular presto card instead of buying a monthly pass as unless you are going everyday 2 to 3 times a day you probably won't be getting your moneys worth also don't forget by tapping your presto card you are getting a 2 hour free transfer period based on the system you tap on (besides GO transit) where you can go out of the system and lets say go to a coffee shop or the way I use it go to a mall and tap on quickly so I can ride to and from all for the same 2.25$

[@berniekatzroy]

Question, is it worth getting a presto card if I'm only in Toronto for a few days?

[@ahurafarahani7751]

@@berniekatzroy If you are an adult (19 and above) and you have access to a credit card then no because you can pay Presto price without paying for a Presto card (be wary of international charges though) or if you have an Android then starting Tuesday, November 21st, 2023 you can put a presto card for free in google wallet (sadly not on IOS unfortunately. Even if you do not have a credit card or are not an adult just buying tickets or using coins is much better because, for a presto card, you need to actually use transit often to cover the initial 4$ cost. PS if you get on buses or even at subway station if you stop the presto fare $3.30 in a variety of coins and just a toonie, loonie, and a couple coins then the driver will give you a ticket but the rule is that a driver cannot tell you anything on a bus if you do not pay.

I've only used the TTC so far. When you take the bus, you tap on the bus (for GO bus tap on and off), same for streetcar, you just tap on in the streetcar when you hop on. For subway train, you tap at the gate when you go in. Hope this helps!

Hi, great video! question, do all buses have pesto card?

[@LivinginCanada]

Yes, the buses in the GTA have the presto card machine to tap on!

[@xiaoyan1625]

Thanks for the video. If I understand correctly, we can transfer from subway to streetcar or subway to subway without paying a 2nd fare if we’re in the 2-hour transfer window? Can I also use it for return trip if I do not exceed the time frame? Thanks!

[@LivinginCanada]

Yes, that's right! All that matters is that your last tap doesn't exceed 2 hours since your first tap (note the exact time). Just one second over and you'll have to pay a second fare! In between you can do as many trips as you want.

[@pkssaga]

Additionally, if I have understood right, that if we are transiting from TTC to Subway or vice versa, within the 2-hour window, is it required to tap again to open up pathway for subway or the bus entry?? And even if we do so, the money will not be deducted since it's within the window?

[@LivinginCanada]

Nope, bus driver will only stop if you press the button, or if there is someone waiting to get on the bus at that stop.

[@FG-bu3jp]

I have a question regarding the 2-hour timeframe, if for example you take the streetcar then need to take the bus. Do you need to tap twice? If so are you deducted $6.50 for tapping twice? Or just $3.25 due to the two hour time frame? Another example would be going to and back from a stop. Say you go to duffering st for just 30min, can you go back the same way and not be charged twice?

[@LivinginCanada]

About the first question: Yes, you need to tap every time you change from-to subway/bus/streetcar of the TTC, that way the system can keep track whether or not you're still within that 2-hr window, but you'll only pay that one fare. As long as it's within that timeframe it won't deduct twice. But once you go just a second above that 2-hrs you'll be charge again, so I'd recommend to take note of when you first tapped on. About the second question: The 2-hr time frame is counted from the moment you first tapped. In the meantime you can take any route, it doesn't matter, you'll only be charged once. Hope that helps!

It's best to use a Presto card, that way you just tap each time you board, and the machine will calculate the fare automatically (including applying the free 2-hour transfer).

[@LivinginCanada]

Any taps you do within that exact 2 hour timeframe will not result in a 2nd fare deduction. But the second you're over the 2 hours, another fare will be applied. It doesn't matter how long your ride lasts after tapping, what counts is the moment you tap. Hope that helps!

Which card is for Mississauga to Toronto and Toronto to Mississauga

I found a sock full of little ttc coins. Can I still use those or turn them in for credit on the new system?

[@LivinginCanada]

I've never heard of those, interesting! But I surely don't remember seeing any machines that accept those coins, as far as I know. The new system, Presto is really practical!

[@markvogel5872]

@@LivinginCanada so I did some more research..it seems like you can't buy them anymore but the ttc said they still will let you use them to ride trains....so wooo hooo free public transit for me! Now I can focus on trying to find a dispensary and a good place to eat!

[@LivinginCanada]

That's awesome! Cool that they're doing that. I looked up the coins and they're really pretty, I could imagine them becoming vintage/collector's item some day, make sure to keep some for yourself! :)

So, I’m going on the ttc for the first time soon and when I put my route into Google maps sometimes it shows that my bus stop is in middle of the road. Does this mean I walk into the road? I don’t really get it lol

[@LivinginCanada]

Haha, if I understand correctly, that might mean that there is a sort of an 'island' stop in the middle. So the bus doesn't stop at the side of the street, but in between street and street car. Yes, from there you would need to cross the street. That could be what it means.

@@LivinginCanada thank you so much!
