Transit customers can load Presto cards at Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws by end of May

Transit customers can buy Presto cards and load funds at dozens of Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstore locations by the end of May, the City of Ottawa says. Metrolinx, the provincial Crown agency that runs the Presto system, has reported success with expanding Presto services at Shoppers stores in Toronto. Ottawa transit customers who prefer to load their Presto cards in person have had to go to OC Transpo or city client service centres. Soon they’ll be able to buy cards, load them and check the balances at 51 Shoppers Drug Mart locations, 12 Loblaws stores and three Real Canadian Superstore locations.
