It is going to cost you more to get around on the TTC starting Monday.
As part of the transit system’s $2.4 billion budget approved by city council earlier this year, cash fares and one-ride PRESTO tickets are going up 10 cents to $3.35.
Along with the fare hike, eligibility for the Fair Pass Transit Discount program will be expanded to an extra 50,000 people while monthly pass users and seniors will see their fares frozen in 2023.
The transit advocacy group TTCriders has called the fare increase “cruel” pointing out that it targets the lowest income people in the city.
The fare increase comes on the heels of the TTC’s recent service adjustments on almost 40 bus, streetcar and subway routes which took effect last month.
