The electronic cards can be reloaded at in-person customer service outlets, by phone, online, or by pre-approved credit card payments.
GO Transit offers a built-in customer loyalty program for customers who use Presto passes. According to the GO Transit website, “GO riders receive fare discounts based upon the number of rides taken and the value of the fares accumulated within the calendar month.”
