Buying or loading up a Presto card just got a whole lot easier thanks to a new Metrolinx pilot program that launched on Monday. The regional transit agency has partnered up with supermarket chain No Frills to bring Presto machines to five of the brand's grocery stores in Ontario — including three locations in Toronto and two in Ottawa. Metrolinx's deal with No Frills follows on the transit agency's installation of Presto machines in locations of other Loblaw-owned brands like Shoppers Drug Mart and Loblaws. According to Metrolinx, "Partnerships with companies like No Frills make it easier for customers to choose transit. The province is clearly making a push to spur transit use with directives such as increased access to Presto machines, along with moves like the One Fare program that allows single-fare trips across multiple transit systems.
