The agency said it has received 26 requests so far in 2017 from police forces for “tap history” from Presto cards and has granted 12 of the requests.
The app, which was developed with Bytemark Inc., has built-in security features. Customers may be asked to validate their purchase by tapping the screen, causing the background color of the pass to change.
Now in its third year, the charter is designed to track promises and improvements that benefit customers, while holding TTC’s management to account if promises are not kept. The progress against these commitments is reported to the TTC board quarterly and posted on the agency’s website.
A big part of the province’s decision to develop Presto cards for $250 million was to facilitate transit trips using one fare card across municipal systems. The move will make Presto more ubiquitous in the region since 85 per cent of area commuters include the TTC in their trips.
