I'm not directly from Toronto so this helps a lot. Here's a little advice of my own for anyone who lives in Mississauga and commutes to UofT! I live at home with my parents in Mississauga and started my sophomore year today, with a pretty, pristine, Presto card! I used it this summer to commute between Mississauga, Oakville, and Toronto. Figured I may as well use it during the year! Since I have Fridays off, I save money by loading the Presto card with up to $70 as opposed to buying the $101 student monthly pass. Also, if I ever have to go home late at night via GO bus it is a bit cheaper (Mississauga Transit costs me $0.70 when I connect with GO, regardless whether it happens before or after). I bought the PSS Metropass earlier today because I'm not confident every TTC location/vehicle recognizes Presto yet, but the minute they do I'll probably just use that! If you live in Mississauga and commute to UofT, look into the Presto card... It might just work for you too! p.s. I still use the Presto card in Mississauga sometimes to get to work and/or meet up with friends, and it fits into my $70 estimation. Good advice, thanks!
