Reminder: TTC stops accepting tickets, tokens, and day passes this weekend

The TTC is reminding customers that Sun., Jun. 1, 2025, is the last day tickets, tokens, and day passes - aka legacy fare media – will be accepted as valid fare payment. Wheel-Trans customers can continue to use these methods until the end of the year.

There will be no refunds, exchanges, or credits for any unused legacy fare media.

The transition away from these fare payment types began in 2019 when the TTC stopped selling them in subway stations. Customers have since embraced the tap-and-ride convenience of PRESTO fares, including PRESTO Cards, PRESTO Tickets, PRESTO in mobile wallets, and debit and credit card payments.

Today, fewer than one per cent of TTC customers pay with legacy fares.

Starting Mon., Jun. 2, 2025, fares on the conventional transit system must be paid using a physical or digital PRESTO Card, PRESTO Ticket, debit or credit card, including those stored in an Apple or Google Wallet.

Customers can use cash to purchase PRESTO Cards and Tickets from Fare Vending Machines in subway stations. Cash payments will also continue to be accepted on buses and streetcars.

Select branches of the Toronto Public Library have free PRESTO cards available on a limited basis.
