Fares Going Up Big Time | Toronto News
Description
Starting September 8, riding GO Transit or the Union Pearson Express without a ticket or scanned Presto card means big fines—$200 for first-time offenders, escalating to $500 by the fourth offense, with court summons and up to $1,000 possible for repeat violators. Transport Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria says paying fares ensures a fair, safe, and reliable transit system for everyone. This crackdown follows Metrolinx’s successful One Fare program, which has saved riders over $230 million this year. Bottom line: load your Presto or buy a ticket—don’t risk the cash.
