TTCconnect E-Tickting

The ticketing system for the TTC (Toronto Transit Committee) still relies on paper tickets, tokens, paper day passes, or plastic metropasses. Presto still hasn’t been fully rolled out yet, only being available in select subway stations. They have just released a new form of e-ticketing through their TTCconnect app, available for both Android and iOS. Through this app you are able to purchase a Single Day Pass or a Group Pass on your phone. You can pre-purchase passes, and must activate the pass before use. Once activated, Single Day Passes and Group Passes are valid from the date activated until 5:30 a.m. the next day. Pass restrictions are the same as the paper Single Day / Group Passes.

The TTC has released a video demonstrating how to use the new e-ticketing option. You can watch it here.

-You may be asked to validate your purchase by tapping the screen and the background colour of the pass(es) will change.
