Apple and Metrolinx today launched a simple, secure and private way to travel on transit in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) using Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch. In the Wallet app, customers can now add a new PRESTO card and add funds to travel on transit across the GTHA.1 Riders can purchase and add funds to PRESTO in Wallet from the PRESTO app or directly from Wallet, and use an iPhone or Apple Watch to tap and ride.
“We’re excited to bring PRESTO to Apple Wallet, enabling GTHA residents and visitors to securely and seamlessly use their iPhone or Apple Watch to take transit,” said Jennifer Bailey, vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet. “Whether they’re commuting to work or exploring the city, PRESTO in Apple Wallet makes the transit experience simple and convenient.”

Users can also add their saved physical PRESTO card to their iPhone or Apple Watch by selecting their card in the PRESTO app and following the on-screen instructions.
With PRESTO in Wallet, users no longer need to reload their card at transit hubs or participating retailers. They can add funds from the PRESTO app or directly in Wallet. Users can also purchase passes such as the TTC monthly pass from the PRESTO iOS app and add them to PRESTO in Wallet.
Tap to ride with PRESTO in Wallet
PRESTO in Wallet enables a simple and convenient transit experience. With Express Mode enabled, a user can simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a reader to travel on transit in the GTHA without having to unlock or wake their device.2 Thanks to the iPhone's power reserve, if a customer's device needs to be charged, they can still use it to take public transportation.3
Tap to ride with a credit or debit card with Apple Pay
If users prefer to pay as they go, they can also add their credit and debit cards4to Apple Pay and simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to use public transit with Express Mode without needing to unlock or even wake your device.
Security and Privacy
PRESTO in Wallet takes full advantage of the privacy and security built into iPhone and Apple Watch. PRESTO cards stored in Wallet are private and secure, and Apple never tracks where users go. When customers add a PRESTO card to Wallet, the card information is encrypted and securely stored in the Secure Element, an industry-standard chip designed to securely store information on the device. If a user’s iPhone or Apple Watch is misplaced, the device owner can quickly use the Find My app to lock and locate the device.
