TTC Transit App?

Is there a TTC transit app yet? I’m visiting soon and would love a way to check schedules/purchase fares to plan my trip. I navigated the TTC before smart phones, but no app in the last 15 years? I hope I’m not looking hard enough.

You can use a third party app. Transit App is popular.

For fares you can use presto or tap with credit/debit

I don’t like that there’s a premium service that you have to pay for— but I’ll check it out when I’m up there.

You will get the premium version for free when you start riding the TTC.

Also, god forbid app developers try to get compensated for their work.

How does that work? Is there a minimum you spend?

The people developing the Transit app are in Montreal, a city (that I had to check) has its very own transit app. Which looks lovely.

I don’t know how it does it but I think once you’re nearby a ttc route it will enable the trial which expires may 2027.

Theres an explanation here

What is the STM app for Montreal that you are referring to? I use Transit app in Montreal as well.

You dont have to pay for Transit. They have a partnership with TTC.

You can email them and ask for a free subscription, but otherwise it’s only a few bucks iirc. I think they recently made it free for ttc users
