Fare Evasion Fines Skyrocket Starting Sept 8 | Toronto News
Description
Starting September 8, skipping your fare on GO Transit or UP Express just got a whole lot more expensive—first-time offenders face fines jumping from $35 to $200, a staggering 450% increase designed to deter fare evasion. Metrolinx is sending a clear message: paying your fare keeps the system running for everyone. Tap your PRESTO card properly, verify your fare and discounts, and avoid steep penalties that escalate with each offense—with repeat violators facing up to $1,000 and possible court time by their fifth offense. Pay your fare. It’s the smart, simple way to ride without risking a big hit to your wallet.
