2017년부터 TTC에서 토큰과 티켓(패스) 받는걸 중단한다고 되어 있습니다.(2015년 기사), 그 이후엔 프레스토카드 의무화

TTC to fully switch to Presto cards; will stop accepting tickets, tokens in 2017 Toronto’s transit agency is promising to have the Presto fare card across the system by the end of next year, and will stop accepting tickets and tokens within months of that milestone. This rollout in Toronto comes after the Presto card became widely used on the GO Transit regional network and suburban transit agencies. The long and slow rollout of the ‎smart card on the TTC is finally starting to accelerate, reducing the crossover period in which people using the new card also have to carry old-style fares.‎ “It’s important to customers because buying a ticket or buying a token is a barrier to travel,” Toronto Transit Commission deputy CEO Chris Upfold said in an interview Monday after his presentation to the TTC board. “It’s an extra step that means that it is more difficult than it needs to be. And Presto … makes it easy for customers.” About two-fifths of the city’s subway stations will accept the Presto card by next month, according to the TTC. The entire fleet of old streetcars will be Presto-enabled ‎by the end of this year. All remaining subway stations and all buses will be fitted for Presto by the end of next year. The new streetcars, which are slowly arriving and are due all to be here ‎by 2019, will have Presto as they go into service. Around the end of next year the TTC will stop selling tickets and tokens. Some time in the middle of 2017 the transit agency will stop accepting these old ways to pay the fare. Those who choose not to use a Presto card – which costs $6 to buy – will be able to use cash. Riders will be able to load money onto the card by phone, online and via terminals in the transit network. They will tap the card when entering the TTC‎, giving access to the system, and probably do so again when they exit. 출처 : http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/ttc-to-fully-switch-to-presto-cards-will-stop-accepting-tickets-tokens-in-2017/article25065329/?service=mobile
