Should you tap off on GO Train?

Remember to tap off at your destination using the same card, phone or watch that you tapped on with as your fare is based on the distance of your trip. This avoids being overcharged the fare to the last stop on the train line or bus route because the PRESTO system doesn't know where you've travelled to.
