Scarborough center is under going replacement of the entrance turnstiles. Presto is coming! Signs says eta April 27.
Not a lot of helipads on top of Toronto buildings and you can get in a lot of trouble for using G650 out of or into YTZ.
The only helipads in Downtown Toronto are on the roofs of Sick Kids and St. Mike's Hospitals, and YTZ itself.
As mentioned about 80 posts back, the next wave of 11 stations (in addition to the current 15 stations) is in no particular order:1) Which subway stations will be outfitted with Presto in the next wave and when?
One day probably ... but nothing imminent.2) Will there be an NFC app for smartphones?
2) Will there be an NFC app for smartphones?
It's been stated by Metrolix that Presto NEXT will have smartphone AND Open-Payment abilities like paying with a visa card (tapping it, etc). But I think the emphasis is currently on just installing it initially on the TTC. Not sure if the hardware is already capable and it just needs a firmware update. I'd imagine since they went through the trouble of changing things over in Ottawa they'd just have the most up-to-date hardware when installed on the TTC that would likely be capable of PRESTO-Next capabilities but would need something on the server side or firmware side to allow it to work (not to mention the respective mobile apps, etc to be written and developed for it).
