Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says the TTC is planning on freezing fares for 2025 in its latest budget.
Citing an affordability crisis for residents, Chow said that fares will remain frozen for a second year in a row.
At the same time, Chow said, the transit agency will be working to improve service across the network.
“We’re making the TTC the better way, one step, one station, one bus stop at a time,” Chow said, promising a “cleaner, brighter and safer TTC.”
Planned improvements include a pilot program to fix bus bunching on 10 routes and improving service frequency on subways and for streetcars on Dundas, St. Clair and Bathurst.
The city also plans to pilot a “station manager” position for a handful of busy subway stations.
