Presto on Para Transpo
Para Transpo accepts Presto cards loaded with a monthly pass. However, because Para Transpo vehicles don't have card readers, you need to show proof of pass purchase when you board. You can get Proof of Payment one of the following ways:
In person
Visit an OC Transpo Sales and Information Centre or a City of Ottawa Client Service Centre and ask for a “query receipt” when loading a monthly pass onto your card, as shown in the sample.
By phone
When you call to load your monthly pass onto your PRESTO card, please ask the agent to send you a receipt of purchase.
Online
Go to your account on prestocard.ca and print the “Card Summary” page. Or, if you subscribe to automatic renewal of your monthly pass, print the “Period Pass Autorenew” page, as shown in the samples below.
“Card Summary” page
Your new balance or monthly pass will be transferred to your card the next time you tap.
“Period Pass Autorenew” page
You can't use money from your e-Purse to pay your fare or your top-up because Para Transpo vehicles don't have Presto card readers.
