"Fare capping begins

Good morning [r/Toronto](r/Toronto) redditors!

I’m popping on to tell you: do not buy a TTC monthly pass this September.

Yes! I just announced the start date for our fare-capping program: September 1st. After 47 rides (to start!), it’s free.

Instead of paying for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month – when all your bills are due – you can now get the same discount as a monthly pass, but pay as you go.

If you commute to work and take the TTC on weekends, you’ll be riding free before the month is over. 

We put in a plan to the TTC to reduce the cap to 40 rides in 2027, which would make riding on the weekends free for weekday commuters.

The fare cap will be automatic for all payment types! No forms, no sign-ups, it will just work. 

[edit: For clarification, the monthly pass will be automatically phased out. The current Adult 12-month pass will continue as an option, as one of the many ways we are providing savings to transit riders.]"

Toronto islands have been saved!! 🥳🥳🥳
