The Presto Card (stylized as PRESTO Card and formerly known as the GTA Farecard) is a contactless smart card fare payment system for public transit systems in Southern Ontario, including those in the metropolitan region of the Greater Toronto Area, the National Capital Region and the city of Hamilton. The system was trialled from June 25, 2007 to September 30, 2008. Full implementation began in November 2009 and will be rolled out across the province in stages. Presto is an operating division of Metrolinx, the Ontario government agency that manages and integrates road transport and public transportation in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

Famous quotes containing the word card:
“Mothers are not the nameless, faceless stereotypes who appear once a year on a greeting card with their virtues set to prose, but women who have been dealt a hand for life and play each card one at a time the best way they know how. No mother is all good or all bad, all laughing or all serious, all loving or all angry. Ambivalence rushes through their veins.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
