The problem lies with the Presto fare gates that the TTC has been installing in its subway stations. Brown said that by its nature it was difficult to determine how many fare gates are affected by the problem. Instead, the fare gates have been operating on the same platform that supports other Presto devices, which has overloaded the system. “The TTC is bleeding millions in fare evasion,” and the problem is made worse by out-of-service Presto devices, he argued. She said the agency is not concerned problems with the fare gates will affect the TTC’s full adoption of Presto in 2018.
