• OC Transpo to be in production starting spring 2012
• Delivery in Ottawa encompasses 1100 buses,13 O-Train stations and

OC Transpo requirements offer increased customer
functionality, i.e. multiple period pass options
Next generation PRESTO devices to be used
presto will mean no more photo ID and passes will be transferrable

I wonder if the same cards could be used in Ottawa as in the GTA?
Sounds like it will be great! I do like the transferable passes, although the student passes would need to be accompanied by student cards and senior passes by proof of age when requested. Also the child fare would be also expanded to 12 year olds.
Eventually they should replace tickets as well if they have a set-amount PRESTO card, like putting $10 at a time to get the ticket fare per ride.
