Toronto: TTC to introduce fare capping in 2026
Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) Board Chair Jamaal Myers have announced that fare capping is coming to the TTC network next year.
Starting in September 2026, TTC riders will ride for free automatically after taking 47 trips in a calendar month as part of the mayor’s 2026 budget.
“We’re making life more affordable for people who rely on transit,” Chow said. “With fare capping, you pay as you go, and once you’ve taken 47 trips in a month, the rest of your rides are free. No more deciding whether you can afford a monthly pass upfront. No more overpaying if you don’t ride enough to make a pass worth it.”
Chow has also indicated she will ask the TTC to plan for an even lower fare cap of 40 rides for the 2027 budget. ............(more)
