A 'Presto' unit very similar to this one will be used for fare payment by transit users. The use of the Presto-card technology means that passengers will be able to board and disembark from all doors simultaneously, speeding the process. The operator will be able to focus on driving and will be secluded from passengers behind a security barrier.Fred Lum/The Globe and Mail
