Fare evasion
Not paying your fare is illegal and could cost you a fine of up to $425.
The fares we collect help us limit fare increases, deliver service and maintain and our system. When you don’t pay your fare, you impact our ability to do this.
Fare evasion includes:
- Illegal entry into a subway station through a bus bay
- Entering a fare gate without paying (including pushing a gate, hopping over a gate, walking behind someone - also known as tailgating, or holding a gate open)
- Boarding a bus, streetcar, or Wheel-Trans vehicle, including contracted vehicles without paying.
- Using a fare type that you do not qualify for (child, youth, senior or post-secondary student)
Paying your fare on the TTC
You can pay your fare with a PRESTO card loaded with money or a monthly pass, or a PRESTO Ticket (one-ride, two-ride or day pass) available from Fare Vending Machines in subway stations. You can also pay by cash, debit or credit card, or mobile wallet.
Don’t get caught without paying your fare. Do the right thing and pay your share!
You may be asked by a Fare Inspector in a uniform or plain clothes, to show your Proof-of-Payment during your journey.
