Find out about our group, and the low income pass

Do you think the TTC is too expensive?

You're not alone.

Thousands and thousands of people, especially people living on low incomes - rely on the TTC everyday to go to the doctor, work, pick up kids, get food, get access to recreation and all the benefits of life in Toronto.

The high (and rising) TTC fares are making it impossible for people to pay for TTC rides. We now have some of the highest fares in North America. We have the highest metropass in Canada.

Social assistance and low wage jobs do not provide enough money to meet basic needs, including riding public transit

Something has got to give. It's time for lower fares on the TTC.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Send a message to your elected official calling for lower fares right now.
Get some postcards and share them with your friends and at your local TTC stop. Contact [email protected] to pick up postcards.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE ASKING FOR?

1. free TTC for people on social assistance 2. $50 Metropass, and $1 tokens for low income earners 3. free TTC during heat alert and extreme cold days 4. discount TTC tokens for social service agencies so they can give tokens to people who access their services 5. no reductions in TTC service. We need more service, not less.

📸 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.
