Toronto mayoral candidates have announced plans to keep transit fares low as the city heads toward its municipal election. Their proposals include extending fare freezes, offering refunds to riders when vehicles run late, and stepping up enforcement against fare evasion.
The candidates said the measures aim to address rising transit costs, a key issue in the campaign that is less than a month away. They referenced collaboration with the Toronto Transit Commission to implement the refund system and increase the presence of fare‑inspection staff.
These proposals come as the TTC evaluates ways to maintain service affordability while managing operational challenges across the city’s transit network.
