Pretty Useless app, considering its main purpose is to serve flexibility when you don't have loose cash/coins or TTC tokens on a bus. The average time for your money to actually show up on your card account before you tap on the device is 24hrs. Save yourself from the embarrassment of not having funds when you tap your card on the bus. (Even so, a big thanks to all those kind TTC drivers who still let me in). TTC, i have seen underdeveloped 3rd Tier cities with a better operated electronic transit pass system. Dump your payment processing vendor/app contractor and help your staff and the PEOPLE.

Hi Bhavik248, you asked and we listened. With the recent PRESTO App update, you can now instantly load your PRESTO card and check your card balance using your iPhone’s NFC capability (requires: iPhone 7 or higher, running iOS 13 or higher). To check your card balance, swipe past your last card on the app's home screen and select “Check Balance”. A quick tip to help you out; when you load or check balance, follow the on screen instructions to hold your card to the back of the phone until you hear the confirmation sound. ^RS

Having rode the NYC metro for years and going from tickets to ticketless, I was thrilled that the cards were tap. What was embarrassing is that you need to purchase a card and can’t use your preexisting credit card even on your phone. Furthermore the price for a card and the inability to share a card you’re going to use only a few times is a huge embarrassment and should be revised. The waste of money and resources is subpar and I would’ve thought TTC would do better, obviously this wasn’t the case.
