Phones Canada is excited to announce that Metrolinx\u2019s Presto card is now supported on Apple Wallet, making commuting in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) easier than ever. Here are some key points to keep in mind:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Users can now add their Presto card to their iPhone or Apple Watch and use it to load funds and tap into transit services with a simple touch.
\n\u2013 This feature has been highly requested by commuters in Toronto, Brampton, Burlington, Durham, Hamilton, and the GTA, joining 200 other global cities that already support local transit passes on Apple Wallet.
\n\u2013 Jennifer Bailey, Apple\u2019s vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, expressed excitement about this partnership: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring Presto to Apple Wallet, enabling GTHA residents and visitors alike to securely and seamlessly use their iPhone or Apple Watch to ride transit.\u201d
\n\u2013 To add your Presto card to Apple Wallet, simply open the Wallet app, tap the \u2018+\u2019 symbol, select \u2018Transit Card\u2019, and follow the instructions to transfer your registered card details.
\n\u2013 Once added to your digital wallet, the physical Presto card will be disabled as its balance is stored cryptographically. You can easily reload funds within the app and purchase passes like the TTC Monthly Pass.
\n\u2013 Express Mode allows you to tap on and off transit systems using debit or credit cards via Apple Pay without waking or unlocking your device.
\n\u2013 Concerned about a drained battery mid-trip? No worries \u2013 with power reserve on iPhone devices, you can still use your Presto card without needing a full charge.
\n\u2013 Ensure you have an iPhone 8 or later model or an Apple Watch Series 4 or newer with at least iOS 16.4 or watchOS 9.4 to enjoy this convenient feature.<\/p>\n
