That's the other thing. The only TTC stations accepting these cards are Finch, Downsview, Union, Islington and Don Mills (basically only the main stations that YRT and MT feed into, plus Union). So if you use the TTC both ways, keep those tokens handy. If you use GO to enter a station other than Union or Finch (let's see - there's Yorkdale, York Mills, Kipling, Dundas West, Danforth, Kennedy, Scarborough Centre or Leslie), the Presto card also does nothing for you.
Ooooh! An unenforceable fare loophole. Why would I want to tap off if I'm going somewhere other than my home GO station if it's on a different corridor or beyond the local station, or tapping off in Viva Zone 2? Maybe I found something I like about this fare card after all. If you have to tap off when you leave, then what's the GoPolice going to do about it if they catch me overriding?
GO Train commuters will have regular origin and destination fares stored on the Presto card. If you are taking that regular trip, you only have to tap on – no tap off is required. If you do not have a regular origin and destination stored on your fare card, or if you are not taking the regular default trip, you will have to tap on and tap off.
