Ontario has launched the 'One Fare' program, a significant transit integration initiative aimed at simplifying the fare system across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Starting today, passengers will no longer face double fares when transferring between local transit systems, including the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), GO Transit, and other municipal transit agencies. This move, under the leadership of Premier @fordnation, is expected to save GTA transit users an average of $1,600 annually. The program is designed to put money back into the pockets of commuters and encourage the use of public transportation by making it more affordable and convenient. Additionally, the Ontario government has committed to covering any financial shortfalls that transit agencies might face due to the elimination of double fares.

Cool project in Toronto, which now offers integrated transit ticketing (i.e., riders pay once to go from A to B anywhere in the region). Crucially, Ontario will cover shortfalls for transit agencies that lose $ from the elimination of double fares. https://t.co/3yjkDO1ByM https://t.co/CQWQrCaGLk
