If your total fare is less than $4.40, the difference will be refunded to your card when you tap off. If the total fare for your trip is more than $4.40, the rest of your fare will be charged to your card. You need to make sure that you have enough funds on your PRESTO card when you tap off to cover the total cost of your trip.

If your card has been added to a My PRESTO Account, you can go into a negative balance to pay for one trip as long as you have at least $4.40 on your card to pay the initial fare.

Always remember to tap off at the end of your trip to ensure you’re charged the correct fare. If you forget to tap off, you could be charged a higher fare which will be deducted from your card balance when you tap on for your next GO trip.
