Thanks, you got me Googling and it came up with the tags you supplied:Yes. Since the TTC has no single-ride post secondary fare, you are instead charged the adult fare of $2.90. I believe the TTC website actually technically lists $2.90 as the presto price for post secondary students and $3.25 as the cash price somewhere, to reinforce that only the pass is discounted.
https://www.prestocard.ca/en-US/Pages/ContentPages/FaresTravel.aspx*Student fares are available for ages 13-19 on the TTC. At this time, the TTC does not have a Post-Secondary PRESTO fare, so all post-secondary students will pay the Adult PRESTO fare. More information on post-secondary students and the TTC can be found on the TTC website.
And indeed, the fare is $2.90
Another good question...I suppose the TTC will still need to issue student IDs even when Presto rolls out, unless Metrolinx were to handle student verification.
A quick supposition without checking: Card holder is allowed on with the proviso that when challenged by a fare-inspector (as with anyone using Presto) proof of fare payment must be shown, or the card produced to check on a machine to see what default is set, and then when asked, supply proof that the default is bona-fide.
