ABOUT

TTC Riders is a new organization created to give a voice to the interests and concerns of hundreds of thousands of Torontonians who use public transit. We seek to ensure that our public transit provides good, dependable service and is accessible and affordable for everyone in our communities.

Drivers have the Canadian Automobile Association, homeowners have organizations in many parts of the city, and even cyclists have formed an effective lobby group. Transit riders also deserve to be well represented when decisions are being made about fares, service delivery, or transit priorities.

UNFAIR FARE HIKES!

On November 17th, the Toronto Transit Commission voted for an 11% increase in fares, tokens, and the Metropass. That means fares and tokens will go up by 25 cents, and the Metropass by $12 starting in January. Would anyone at City Hall recommend an 11% increase on property tax in one year? Never!

No other major transit system in North America expects its riders to pay for over 70% of the system’s cost.

We are calling on the TTC, the City and the Provincial Government to commit to fair funding for the transit system Torontians need. If you are tired of being taken for granted, send a message to the TTC, the Premier, and the Mayor’s office right now. Click here to see a sample message, or write your own.

Let’s make sure they know we don’t like unfair fare hikes!
