Metrolinx continues to make it more convenient to travel on transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area by offering you more ways to pay your fare.
Starting today (Nov. 14), this includes a brand-new option: PRESTO in Google Wallet - a digital version of your PRESTO card that can be used on an Android smartphone or Wear OS smartwatch.
Once you’ve saved your PRESTO in Google Wallet, you can tap on a PRESTO device to pay your fare on GO Transit, UP Express, Brampton Transit, Burlington Transit, Durham Region Transit, Hamilton Street Railway, MiWay, Oakville Transit, TTC and York Region Transit.

It's stupid that presto even exists with credit and debit both existing already...presto is just another useless step and a way to generate more people to spend money on a dumb card that does nothing special other then break and have delays or just not work...

I believe the plastic Presto cards remain valuable for those without bank cards since they offer the convenience of loading cash onto the card.
