Continuing here from the Grand River Transit thread...
Thanks.
The 'Purchase a Presto Card' drop-list on the main Presto web site leads me to the Customer Service Outlet map which only lists Gaukel, but at least they do list something for a person here in town looking to buy a card. My 2016 flight was planned/booked at the last minute, and I just assumed there would be a vending machine at the GO/Via station that would ding my debit/credit card for $26 and give me a $6 Presto card with $20 on it for my GO/UPX trip. How hard would that be for them to install? I believe I did spot a reload machine there too, so I could have immediately added funds to it too if necessary for my trip. Silly me for assuming that Presto would be convenient.
