	Toronto Transit Commission Fares - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Regular TTC fares apply for Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport, just outside the city limits, but generally a supplementary fare is required equivalent to the Mississauga Transit or York Region Transit fare.
		Then as now, there were routes extending outside the city, and extra fares were charged; these were on a zonal basis, although the zones might better be described as fare stages along the individual routes outside the city, as each one was a separate radial route.
		A fare increase in 2005 led some to call for the reintroduction of fare zones, but the TTC does not believe this would be wise.

	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Urban Mass Transit In The United States
		One especially important commitment made by most transit companies was a pledge to forever provide service for a nickel, regardless of the length of the ride, a departure from the European practice of charging by the zone.
		In this environment, transit was no longer viable as a profit-making enterprise, and it also proved a drag on the budgets of those cities that had already taken over transit operation.
		At one extreme are those who believe that mass transit as a thriving industry died of foul play, the victim of a criminal conspiracy of automobile, rubber, and oil producers who hoped to force Americans to depend on their cars.

	News@UofT -- Forum: A better way -- May 6, 2002
		Transit advocates have long argued that public transit is less polluting than automo-biles and that governments should encourage car drivers to switch to transit.
		Since the cost of a transit trip varies with its length as well as with the time of day (peak versus off-peak), transit fares should be related to distance travelled and to the congestion level.
		Transit advocates might argue (correctly) that it is less costly to maintain a fleet of durable (if initially expensive) coaches compared with a fleet of less-sturdy (initially inexpensive) minivans.

	CTV Toronto - Billion dollar TTC deficit sparks fare hike fears - CTV News, Shows and Sports -- Canadian Television
		Toronto's transit system is set to roll out service improvements and upgrades this fall while running a major budget shortfall, sparking fears of more fare hikes to pay for the changes.
		The decision to raise fares was made as the TTC was tackling a budget shortfall due in part to cuts by city hall.
		This time the commission is pointing a finger towards the provincial government, saying fare increases will only make up a fraction of the $200 million per year needed over the next five years.

	::: Toronto Transit Commission ::: The Summer Edition :
		This loop, on the boundary between the City of Toronto and the Borough of North York, had a long history with the TTC, opening in the early 1920s as the northern terminal of the Yonge streetcar line and the southern terminal of interurbans arriving from the communities north of the city.
		The Metropolitan interurban took passengers from North Toronto all the way to the shores of Lake Simcoe, and the North Yonge Railways were a major operation serving the townships of North York, Vaughan, Markham and the town of Richmond Hill until 1948.
		Rosedale station, like Wellesley, had its fare barrier at street-level just inside the entrance; the subway platforms here were in an open cut, so the entrance and the bus terminal were offset to one side, with stairs leading down to the platforms.

	TTC: problems in paradise? (Toronto Transit Commission; (Site not responding. Last check: )
		For 1989, the Toronto Transit Commission is predicting its 11th straight year of ridership increases -- at a time when many urban transit system are struggling just to maintain ridership.
		What Metro Toronto has today is 46.04 miles of streetcar routes, 33.8 miles of subway and the 3.98-mile Scarborough route (the first TTC application of intermediate-capacity rapid transit, designed to carry up to 20,000 passengers per hour in each direction, more than surface lines but fewer than heavy-rail transit lines).
		When the Commission was getting ready for the opening of the first subway in the 1950s, it found bids from Canadian and U.S. carbuilders "outrageous" and so it went to England, to Gloucester Railway Carriage & Wagon Company, for what turned out to be four series of G-class 57-foot cars.

	Transit Rage: "This is a horrible day" for Toronto transit
		The Toronto Transit Commission is planning to close the Sheppard subway, drop 21 bus routes and raise fares because of city funding shortages, chairman Adam Giambrone said Thursday.
		An emergency meeting of the commission board is scheduled for Friday to formalize the cuts, he told reporters.
		The taxes were right to be deferred for 2 reasons: (1) Toronto is paying for social spending, a provincial and federal responsibility, which is a huge chunk of change and which the province is relieving the 905 area of paying.

	Getting to ISC
		Toronto is served by Pearson International Airport, Canada's largest and busiest.
		The University of Toronto is over 30km away from the airport, and a one-way trip is approximately $40.
		The main inconvenience, however, is that public transit is not as fast as other modes of transportation, and you have to haul your luggage on the bus and the subway.

		Transit is a cornerstone to a healthy City - economically, socially and environmentally.
		While there is some good news for the TTC after a decade of decline, we are concerned about delays in service improvements, continued fare increases and question our priorities in building expensive new subways for a few, instead of a new suburban light rail/busway network for many.
		Toronto Public Health recommends improved transit as the best way to cut smog, an out of control problem that leads to 1700 pre-mature deaths in the our city each year.

	Toronto Transit (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Toronto Transit Commission, or TTC, is a public transport authority that operates buses, streetcars, and rapid transit lines in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
		As of 2004, there are four rapid transit lines (three are referred to as subways, while a fourth is mostly elevated; see Toronto Subway and RT), with a total of 69 stations, as well as 149 connecting "surface" routes (buses and streetcars).
		Colloquially, the Toronto Transit streetcars are known as "red rockets"; hence the use of "Ride the Rocket" in advertising material for the TTC (which uses the phrase to advertise the entire system), and the use of the word "Rocket" in the names of some express buses.
