The TTC is reminding customers the cost of most fares and passes will increase on Jan. 1, 2017.

In November, the TTC Board approved a 10 cent increase to the cost of a token and PRESTO adult fare, as well as a $4.75 increase to the cost of a Metropass. Senior/Student fares (cash and tickets) will increase by 10 cents. Day Passes, GTA weekly passes and Downtown Express Stickers will also increase, as outlined below.
