TTC, Oakville Transit raise fares, March 1
(and kids ride the TTC free of fare, too)



Most of us will have to pay more to ride the TTC and Oakville Transit, starting this Sunday, March 1.

But, if you’re younger than 12 years of age, you can ride the TTC free of fare!

Although the cash fare remains the same as now, you’ll have to pay about 10 cents more for tokens and tickets in all fare categories in Toronto. The cost of a monthly Metropass will be $141.50.

In Oakville, you’ll have to pay $110 for a monthly pass and the cost for a ride on the bus with your PRESTO fare card jumps to $2.80.

Oakville Transit’s paper monthly passes and tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
