"Over 1.3 million people rely on the TTC daily to get to work, travel, and to arrive home safely. Yet despite the TTC being an essential for millions, the City continues to manage the TTC as if it must make a profit, even if it comes at the detriment of everyday riders. Not only am I committed to the affordability proposals put forth by TTCRiders, I will advocate to transition the TTC towards a fare-free system. Though fare-capping is a good start towards a fare-free future, we must also be focused on making the TTC more affordable for those who need it most rather than just a small category of riders. This means expanding fare-free travel for students through their post-secondary education and lowering senior-rate eligibility to 55."
