DRT paper transfers still on hold PRESTO card incentives available By Courtney Bachar/The Oshawa Express/LJI Reporter Riders using Durham Region Transit buses still don’t have the option of using paper transfers. The Durham Region Transit Executive Committee (TEC) has decided to continue the temporary pause of paper transfers due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “While the transmission risk is low, staff have accepted the measures implemented for their safety and relaxing measures at this time during the pandemic may have a negative impact,” says DRT General Manager Bill Holmes. “While we have taken steps to address some of the risks identified, issuing transfers still requires intervention by the bus operator and compromising the barrier that’s installed.”
