Adult tickets and tokens, purchased in quantities of 5 or 10, will officially increase by 15 cents each, while the cash fare will remain the same at $2.75 each. The cost of a metro pass will also increase from $99.75 to $109 a month. The price raise was approved by all TTC commissioners after surveys from riders showed people were willing to pay more to keep the current services. The fare hikes will take effect in November. Full storyAlthough, I don't take TTC to work, I believe this will decrease the ridership of the public transits. This will obviously increase the traffic on the rush hours which is already getting worse day by day. This gone to be stop! How can we say we want to decrease the pollution in the city and demotivate people from taking the public transits? This does not impress me from the decreasing popularity of Toronto Mayer.

It's a little ridiculous the government needs to increase the fare every year. Way to go City of Toronto! But I don't think people would take the TTC less frequently if they are frequent TTC riders.
Yes, for people who take TTC frequently, they cannot do anything about it! Is there anyway they can do to protect this rate increase?
