TTCriders spoke out against the 5-cent fare increase proposed at today's Toronto Transit Commission meeting.
We argued that public transit benefits all Torontonians, yet riders are being penalized for choosing "the better way." City Hall contributes the least amount per rider than any other jurisdiction in Canada and the U.S.
Although the Toronto Transit Commission approved the fare increase at today's meeting, TTCriders urges the Commission to engage in discussions with the City and Province to pay their fair share, and secure a sustainable, sufficient revenue source for operating and expanding the TTC.
