Deputy Minister Cho Seong-hoon “Implementation within this year”<\/p>\n
The fare burden for passengers transferring from GO Transit to TTC will be reduced.<\/p>\n
On the 31st, Deputy Minister of Transportation Cho Seong-hoon (Stan) announced that the TTC will be included in the GO Transit fare consolidation program this year.<\/p>\n
The budget bill announced by the Ontario government on the 23rd of last month included a plan to expand the toll program throughout Greater Toronto.<\/p>\n
Since March of last year, commuters using GO Transit have not paid an extra fee when transferring to more than a dozen Greater Toronto Area transit systems, excluding the TTC.<\/p>\n
The former Liberal Party government signed an agreement with Metrolinx to give a $1.50 discount on fares when transferring from GO Transit to TTC, but the agreement was canceled in 2020 after the Conservative Party came to power.<\/p>\n
“Unlike in the 1960s and 1970s, many workers these days move to other areas for work,” said Jan de Silva, chairman of the Toronto Board of Trade.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
