TTC riders will soon be able to transfer to and from GO trains for free

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Subaita Refaaf says she pays $17 each day of the week that she commutes from her Scarborough home to the University of Toronto's St. George campus.

For a student, Refaaf says the cost, along with the time hassle — an hour on two buses, a GO train and a subway — can make for some tricky math.

The province has committed to fund the new one-fare program until March 2026, with the option to extend based on results.

While lower fares are popular and may help boost ridership, there are bigger considerations, says transit advocate Shelagh Pizey-Allen, who is executive director of TTC Riders.

Pizey-Allen says the change went largely unnoticed as a result of TTC ridership plummeting due to pandemic restrictions that soon followed.

Commuters who regularly transfer between the TTC and GO Transit could save around $1,600 a year, Associate Transportation Minister Vijay Thanigasalam told CBC Toronto.
