Mayor Olivia Chow and TTC Chair Jamaal Myers announced fare capping is coming to the TTC next year, pending approval.

“With fare capping, you pay as you go, and once you’ve taken 47 trips in a month, the rest of your rides are free. No more deciding whether you can afford a monthly pass upfront. No more overpaying if you don’t ride enough to make a pass worth it.”
