This May it's our chance to get a low income pass

Over a year ago, the City of Toronto, in response to our pressure, agreed to develop a plan to make the TTC more affordable. We're waiting for the city to present their plan to the public, but it keeps getting delayed.

What do we want?

Free fares for people on social assistance
$50 fares for people on low incomes
Cheap bulk purchases of tokens for social service agencies
No cuts in service to pay for lower fares
And more

Here are 4 ways you can take action for lower TTC fares:

Send a message to your elected official about this issue right now.
Come get some of these brilliant postcards and share them with your friends and at your local TTC stop. Contact [email protected] to pick up postcards.
Join our organizing committee. Contact Karin at [email protected].
Come to our rally at City Hall, 100 Queen St, noon, Tue. May 31st. RSVP now.

The Fare Fair Coalition and TTCriders, along with many allies and activists, have been fighting to lower TTC transit fares for low income people who rely on public transit. Many are forced to choose between feeding the family and taking the bus.

The city has committed to a poverty-reduction strategy that includes low income fares. The city and the TTC must live up to its responsibility to build a fair city for all. It's time to make sure everyone in Toronto should be able to afford public transit.

📸 Rally to Open the Crosstown

On February 19, 2025, TTCriders held the Rally to Open the Crosstown at Yonge and Eglinton to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects. Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.

TTCriders asked every party to invest in running TTC service and new LRTs with a 50% operating subsidy for local transit systems, and to give the TTC back control over running Toronto transit, to keep costs down and increase accountability.
