Metrolinx and the province are making steps to make the PRESTO fare card more accessible for purchasing, loading, and reloading in Hamilton.

Right now, customers will be able to buy, load, and set discounts for children, elementary and high school students and seniors on their PRESTO cards at 22 Shoppers Drug Mart locations across the city of Hamilton.

Seven Shoppers Drug Marts in Burlington are also equipped to load Presto cards.

An up-to-date list of all PRESTO retail outlets is available at prestocard.ca.

Presto is already available at nine Fortinos locations in the city, which has proven both successful and convenient.
