Transfers

Transfers are free and must be obtained where you pay your fare.

Customers can take advantage of the TTC’s two-hour transfer when they pay their fare using a PRESTO card, PRESTO Ticket, debit or credit card (including the cards loaded in your mobile wallet). A transfer is applied to the card or PRESTO Ticket when you first tap on a card reader. It is valid for two-hours.

Customers paying by cash, tickets or tokens, must obtain a transfer where they pay their fare i.e. from an operator on bus, from a transfer machine at the subway station or on the streetcar. Paper transfers are valid at transfer points on the day of issue for a one-way continuous trip, or as otherwise noted on the transfer. TTC paper transfers are only valid on TTC vehicles, or contracted Wheel-Trans vehicles. They are not valid on any other transit agency. 

MiWay (in Mississauga) does not accept TTC tickets, TTC tokens and TTC paper transfers, except “Zone 3” punched transfers from TTC Route 52 Lawrence.

York Region Transit (YRT) does not accept TTC tickets, TTC tokens and TTC paper transfers, except “Zone 3” punched transfers from TTC Routes 17 Birchmount, 68 Warden, 102 Markham Road, 129 McCowan North and 160 Bathurst North. 

The One Fare program does not include free transfers between the TTC, MiWay and YRT for customers who pay with cash, tickets, tokens or PRESTO Tickets.

Walking Transfers

Customers are normally permitted to use paper transfers to transfer to the next available bus or streetcar only at locations where the two routes intersect or serve the same stops.

In some cases, two routes operate near each other but do not serve the same intersection and do not have any stops in common. In these cases, where specifically identified, customers can use paper transfers to transfer between routes at the walking transfer locations.

TTC Times Two with Metrolinx

Use your TTC transfer twice after taking GO Transit and UP Express

If you ride the TTC immediately before and after a GO Train/Bus or UP Express train trip, you can use the TTC transfer from your first TTC ride to board the second TTC vehicle.
