Article Highlights
Riders of the largest public transit operator in Canada’s biggest city, the Toronto Transit Commission, or TTC, will finally get an open-loop payments option by mid-2023. TTC-run buses, streetcars and subway will accept credit and debit cards and NFC wallets. A spokeswoman said the agency will charge the same fare for single rides with open loop as it does for customers tapping Presto closed loop cards.
For TransLink in Vancouver, those discounts (for closed loop) range from nearly 22% to just under 29%, depending on the zone. Most of the smaller agencies that have so far launched open loop in Toronto and vicinity do the same.
• TTC (Toronto)
• Metrolinx (Toronto)
• TransLink (Vancover)
• Interac
