Q: Can I use my PRESTO to pay for someone else with me (in addition to using it to pay my own fare)? A: No. However, you may lend your card to someone else if they are in the same fare category as you (i.e. if you have a student pass on your card, the person borrowing it cannot use it unless they are also a student).
Missed Tap Off CostIf you don't have a default set on your card and you forget to tap off at the end of your trip, you'll be charged the fare to the last stop on the train line or bus route and with your fare type and any applicable loyalty discounts applied.
With PRESTO contactless payment, you can tap on a PRESTO device with your credit card, debit card, or cards in a mobile wallet on your phone or watch to pay for transit.
What happens if I touch in with one contactless card, and touch out with another on the same journey? It's important that you try to avoid doing this, as you'll be charged a maximum fare on both of your cards.
There isn't a daily limit for contactless payments. However, from time to time, when you shop using contactless payments, you'll need to put your card into the machine and enter your PIN to verify it's you, before you can use contactless again.
After you tap on, a pre-authorisation $1 charge will appear as a pending transaction on your statement. As you travel throughout the day, fares will be accumulated and the total cost of the day's travel will be processed at the end of each day. The total cost will replace the $1 charge.
