PRESTO is a payment application for Android that simplifies travel across public transit systems in Ontario, Canada. Users can manage membership cards, load funds and check their balance in real time.
Tap-to-Pay
This feature is only available on modern phones with which passengers may conveniently take the subway. It is only necessary to tap the devices at transit gates instead of getting a physical card. Such an option eliminates the hassle of carrying a separate item while ensuring a quick and secure payment process.
Load and renew
With auto-load, users can set a minimum balance threshold that triggers an automatic top-up. Auto-renew is also available for pass holders to make sure monthly passes are reloaded on time. Thus, it is possible to avoid manual recharges, reducing the risk of insufficient funds when traveling.
Moreover, the app provides a detailed history of recent trips, including fare deductions and payment confirmations. You can review past transactions to track spending. There are also notifications for key updates, low balance alerts or pending operations. The transparency helps you stay informed about your transit usage. The last thing to mention is exclusive offers and special deals with which you may save money on trips.
