Why does transit matter to you?

Personalize your message and explain how you are impacted by unreliable TTC service, unaffordable fares, and overcrowding.

We need a fairly-funded TTC

Transit riders in Toronto deserve an affordable, world class public transit system, but the TTC is the least funded transit system in North America. The North American average is $2.60 per ride, and we are calling on councillors to increase the City funding subsidy to $1.30 a ride.

If the TTC was funded at this rate, we'd be able to get:

More reliable and frequent TTC service, especially in priority neighbourhoods
Lower fares
Two-hour transfers

Have an extra five minutes?

Call your city councillor and ask them to vote for a fairly funded TTC budget in 2018. Tell your councillor why you care about lower TTC fares, more reliable and frequent service on routes across the city, and two-hour transfers. Find your councillor's phone number here or call 311.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

July 16, 2025

Toronto, ON — TTCriders, a membership-based transit advocacy organization, is celebrating a victory today as, after hearing a marathon six hours of speakers, with most voicing support on the issue, the Executive Committee approved RapidTO dedicated transit lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin Streets. This would not have been possible without transit riders standing up and speaking in favour of this common-sense solution.
