TTC fares up for 2013

Posted By: Siobhan Morris · 9/12/2012 9:16:00 PM

You could be forking out a little more to ride the rocket next year.

The TTC has OKed a plan to raise fares, keeping them in line with inflation.The price for TTC tokens is set to go up by a dime in 2013, 2014 & 2015.

The TTC is also looking at contracting out cleaning jobs to improve its bottom line.

Some TTC riders outside St. Clair Station Wednesday are frustrated at the prospect of paying more.  They say they'd be willing to do it, if they saw service improve.

Some people who live downtown say no matter how much the increase might be, the TTC would still be cheaper &  more convenient than driving.

    Like most people, I wouldn't mind seeing fares go up so long as service is improved. There is downtime but that's expected in any major city with mass trasit. I'm visually impaired so I don't have a choice, I have to take the TTC to and from work, or anywhere else I need to get to and from. The bottom line is, the TTC is still much cheaper than driving.

    Rather than increasing fares, they should be saving money by firing anyone who falls asleep in their toll booth, runs their bus off the road, or behaves otherwise unacceptably.
