Proof-of-Payment (POP)

All customers must have valid Proof-of-Payment (POP) such as a tapped PRESTO card, PRESTO Ticket, debit or credit card,paper transfer or TTC Convention Pass when travelling on the TTC. You must get your Proof-of-Payment where you pay your fare at the start of your journey.

Your POP proves you have paid your fare and it may be requested at any time by a Fare Inspector (in uniform or plain clothes), Special Constable, Operator or Customer Service Agent, when travelling on the TTC.

Where and how do I get my Proof-of-Payment?
