Here's a cool Presto card feature you might not know about

This one’s completely for Ontarians.

Your Presto Transit card can present you a map of the TTC when scanned through Snapchat.

Shared by TTC Realm on YouTube roughly 10 months in the past, the function requires you to be linked to web, however means that you can immediately take a look at a map of the TTC’s subway traces. Admittedly, it’s simpler to only sort “TTC map” on Google and pull up the pictures, however it is a neat little trick to have up your sleeve.

To check out the function, open Snapchat and level your digicam at your Presto card. Lengthy-tap on it, and the app ought to mechanically begin “trying to find content material based mostly in your scene.”

It’s going to then present you lenses “associated to the marker you scanned,” with two outcomes. Choosing “TTC Subway,” and/or “Toronto Subway Map” would present you the entire subway map, together with the Bloor-Danforth (Inexperienced), Yonge-College (Yellow), Scarborough (Blue) and Sheppard (Purple) traces.

It’s value noting that the function works with the outdated Inexperienced Presto card as nicely, although it populates solely the “Toronto Subway Map” lens.

It’s value noting that when a lens is loaded, your telephone’s Snapchat digicam must be pointed at your Presto Card for the TTC map to seem. Pointing it anyplace apart from the Presto card will result in the map not showing.
