As of Fall 2014, TTC users pay more for operating our public transit than riders in any comparable city in North America, about 73% of the cost (see the table on page 9 of this Transit Commission Report here).

That means the people who do the right thing and use public transit are being penalized.

It’s time governments: municipal, provincial and federal, started investing to make transit more affordable for Torontonians. To help, join the TTCriders A Fair Deal for Riders Campaign and let your governments know you want them to invest in public transit.
