Make Public Transit Free for All in Toronto
Make Public Transit Free for All in Toronto
The Issue
The main customer base for public transit in Toronto consists of low-income individuals who find the current fares overpriced and unaffordable. According to a 2019 report by the City of Toronto, nearly 30% of transit users have an annual income below $30,000. Making public transport free would alleviate financial burdens on these residents, promote social equity, and encourage higher usage rates which can reduce traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Sign this petition to urge the City of Toronto to implement free public transport services for all!
