“I feel like a sardine on this street car.”
“The TTC is too expensive.”
“Sorry, I’m late for work again because all the street cars were full and I couldn’t get on.”
This is how Torontonians talk about public transit.

“Sorry, I’m late for work again because all the street cars were full and I couldn’t get on.”
This is how Torontonians talk about public transit.
But we have the chance to change that right now.
Right now, Toronto is voting to improve transit and make fares more affordable. Specific immprovements include:
The motion is being voted on today at the TTC Commission. If approved, it will then move to a City Council meeting to identify funding.
It’s super important we tell the TTC Commission and the City and the Province to vote, approve and fund these important recommendations as soon as possible so we can get the public transit we need and deserve.
The reason why it is important to have City Council vote on this now is that we need to know where our elected officials stand on improving service for Torontonians.
Tell the City and the Province to say yes to more service and lower fares. Call 311 to talk to your City Councillor. Your MPP can be found here.
We’ve asked candidates whether they’ll invest in more TTC service, protect door-to-door Wheel-Trans service, expand TTC’s low-income discount, approve fare capping and more. View candidates’ detailed answers to our survey, information about their transit platforms, and more.
Do you still have TTC tokens or paper senior/student tickets or day passes? The TTC has announced that they will stop accepting TTC tokens and paper tickets after December 31, 2024. But the TTC will not be issuing exchanges. This is unfair to people who have saved up tokens and tickets, especially low-income seniors. Gift cards and permanent stamps never expire -- why are transit fares any different?
(Toronto, ON) – Transit advocacy organization TTCriders will hold a rally today at 5:00pm outside Bathurst Subway Station to call on federal Members of Parliament to invest in TTC repairs and new subway trains on Line 2 by accelerating implementation of the Canada Public Transit Fund. The rally is part of a national “Transit Action Week” being organized in 5 Canadian cities. (Cantonese, Mandarin, French spokespeople available.)
