 February 14, 2014

CCO is pleased to announce that students attending career colleges in Mississauga will soon be eligible for the post-secondary transit fare.

After a productive meeting with MiWay staff and career college representatives earlier this week, CCO has learned the following information:

  • Students attending career colleges in Mississauga will be eligible for the post-secondary student discount at the beginning of May
  • The post-secondary student rate will be $2.45 per trip, as opposed to the adult rate of $3.25
  • Students will have to go to the City Centre Transit Terminal (200 Rathburn Rd. W., Mississauga) or the TTC Islington Subway Station (MiWay Booth) (1226 Islington Avenue, Toronto) to validate their PRESTO card (an electronic, reloadable smart card) as a “PS2” to obtain the post-secondary fare
  • When validating their card to obtain the reduced fare, students will need to present a confirmation of enrolment and a valid student card
  • The student card must include the following:
    • The college name and logo
    • The program end date
    • A photo of the student
  • The student card must also be presented when using the PRESTO card
  • Students will need to reactivate the student fare in September with proof of their full-time student status
  • The PRESTO Card can be purchased online (www.prestocard.ca) or in person at the City Centre Transit Terminal or at the TTC Islington Subway Station (MiWay Booth)

 

Please stay tuned over the coming weeks for additional details, including the official implementation date and further information on the PRESTO card.
