The pandemic has changed the way we think about public services like the TTC. Transit doesn’t just get us from A to B, it is a lifeline that connects us to essential jobs, health care, and groceries.
It's more important than ever for transit riders to have a voice and share our vision. The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is creating a 5-year plan for transit fares. Without input from riders like you, the new plan won't reflect our needs.

Our personal stories have the power to influence decision-makers. The future of the King Street Transit Pilot will be decided by City Council by April 17th, and you have an opportunity to speak to them about how it has impacted you.
Our personal stories have the power to influence decision-makers. As transit riders, we face long wait times, overcrowding, and expensive fares on a daily basis and that has a real negative impact on our health and well-being.
City Council will soon be deciding how much funding to allocate to the TTC, which affects fares and service levels. This year transit riders are facing fare increases, because the TTC is the least funded system in North America.
Starting in the new year we'll be hosting transit activist nights on Monday evenings at the Center for Social Innovation at 720 Bathurst St. from 6-8pm. These regular events will be an opportunity to do phone banking, data entry, and trainings to push forward our vision for an affordable, world-class public TTC.
Tokens will be phased out by the end of 2019 and the Fair Fare Coalition is concerned that the paper Presto tickets that will replace them will cause more barriers to accessing transit. This is our chance to ask the TTC and Metrolinx about their plans and raise questions and concerns.
Check out this event from Action Keele, a new group organizing around transit issues on Keele Street.
