The TTC here in Toronto decided to raise the price of a subway ride from $2.75 to $3 yesterday. I’m sure I can live with the 25c price rise but plenty of people are unhappy with it, some threatening to now go out and buy a car. Does this change in price really make it now viable to go get a car? While I’d rather it stayed as it was $3 to travel anywhere in the Toronto area is still not half bad. But, if the TTC are looking to cover costs then instead of taking it out on their valuable passengers, why not lobby for the city to put in one of them congestion taxes on cars driving in the inner city hub and having the city put some of the funds raised towards public transport? That was the price of a subway ride stays down and traffic downtown is cut and the city of Toronto look great for ‘going Green’. Just a thought that I doubt will come to fruition.
