@cp24breakingnews: Starting Tuesday, the TTC will be capping paid monthly trips at 47, eliminating the need for monthly passes. Adult, youth, senior, and fare pass customers who pay with a PRESTO card, a PRESTO card in a mobile wallet, an Interac Debit card, or a credit card, including cards in a mobile wallet, will automatically ride for free after 47 paid trips in a calendar month. “Just tap as you go using the same card or device every time, and once you reach the monthly fare cap, the rest of your rides that month are free,” the TTC said in a news release. Those who use an Adult 12-Month Pass or a TTC Post-Secondary Monthly Pass should continue using those as the TTC says they still provide “the best value.” The TTC notes that if you switch between a physical card, smartphone, smartwatch or another payment method, trips are counted separately and won’t go toward your monthly cap. “You must tap every time you board a vehicle or enter a station, even after you have reached the monthly fare cap,” the TTC noted. “Tapping is still required to open fare gates, validate your trip, capture your Proof-of-Payment, and show that you are eligible to travel at no additional cost after reaching the cap.” #cp24 #cp24news #ontario #toronto

I don't get the comments. This is a good start compared to the price of the previous metro pass. You're only paying for what you use and if you live in Toronto and need to commute daily, 47 isn't hard to reach. If you live outside of Toronto, then Mayor Chow doesn't serve your area and you should reach out to your local mayor.

It’s a Toronto and TTC scam. They’re literally forcing you to take public transit. See those extra seven trips that’s money in their pockets not yours. You’re not saving anything. You’re not getting any free trips you’re paying for it. It’s a scam.

What one person is taking 47 TTC rides in a single calendar month?

So the 47-trip cap mainly benefits people who use the TTC beyond a basic work commute — weekends, evenings, multiple separate outings per day, etc. The more meaningful change comes in 2027, when TTC says the cap drops to 40 paid trips.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! This was meant for those who don't have a 9-5, those who need to go to two jobs in one day or be in three places even (like school). This was meant for those students that commute from far away and MUST be in their campus waiting a 4hr break in between classes but cannot go back home. This gives them a chance to explore their city more. This is for those who cannot afford to pay a monthly pass at the beginning of the month because its between that, school fees or rent. It might not be perfect or good, but I do appreciate this for those who need it the most. If you think this doesn't benefit YOU, its probably because it was meant for someone that has LESS than you or is in a WORST situation than you.
