If you regularly use a Presto card on your way to work or school, you might not know that there’s actually more to that tap than just getting on a bus or a train. In fact, your Presto card can open the door to a range of discounts at major attractions and events in Ontario that you might already be planning to attend.
Throughout the summer, Presto cardholders can access exclusive savings on everything from festivals to sporting events and nature activities. A new set of limited-time offers has been rolled out for July and beyond, giving you a chance to make the most out of the warm season without putting a dent in your wallet.
