Residents in Aurora and across York Region should prepare for limited service on the fare payment system this weekend as York Region Transit undergoes maintenance on the PRESTO network. From 11 p.m. on April 10 until mid-morning on April 11, 2026, the PRESTO website, mobile application, and mobile wallet services will be unavailable.
During this maintenance window, riders will also be unable to load funds onto their cards at transit stations between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. To ensure travel remains uninterrupted, transit users are encouraged to load their cards before the 11 p.m. start time on April 10.
Despite the website and app downtime, the tap-to-pay feature will continue to function on buses. Riders can still use their physical cards, or mobile devices already set up with tap-to-pay, to board and pay for their trips throughout the maintenance period.
Following this maintenance, a separate change takes effect on April 11, 2026, as PRESTO E-Tickets transition to the main PRESTO app and website. The standalone application previously used for E-Tickets will be discontinued, and tickets will no longer be available through that older platform.
