As usual, on the "Buying a PRESTO card" slide they do not mention that one can also buy PRESTO cards (and have them set for senior or youth fares) at GO and at all other transit agencies that use PRESTO.

Off-board Presto machines will be installed at the busiest streetcar stops across the system.
Heaven help the system when the Presto scanners don't work, and then you're forced to fight your way to another scanner on board. That's happened to me twice already.
TTC cannot send 200,000 people to use GO staff that TTC isn't paying for. If they recommended this officially GO would be well within their right to sue TTC for part of their station operating costs
