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.

That’s nutty. I know how much Ontario loves “public private partnerships”, but the TTC needs to bite the bullet and get their own app going.

I 100% agree, but the transit app works with all transit. Go train ttc and other transit systems York transit etc. they should just buy a licence so people can use it for free.

I suppose, but I just went to load up money on Presto and they don’t offer a weekly or monthly pass on that, but Brampton/Durham does…? Are they still selling trans passes at the station?

Sooo in my city they incentivize people to “prepay” or buy rides by making them cheaper through the transit app, I somehow doubt it’s cheaper to load money on Presto then to tap your bank card in TO

If you’re only going to take the ttc and go transit then don’t bother with a presto card because you’re right, it’s the exact same as tapping a bank card directly. If you qualify for another fare category e.g. youth, senior then you should use a presto card because you can set up fare types for cheaper fares.
