The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) board approved its recommended operating budget for 2025, requesting a 6.5% increase in city funding. The budget prioritizes customer experience and safety, aiming to improve service frequency, address bus bunching, and enhance overall reliability. It also includes a fare freeze and a pilot program for station managers.

The Toronto Transit Commission board approved the agency’s recommended operating budget for the year, requesting a 6.5 per cent increase in city funding from 2024, and

Other planned improvements include a pilot program to fix bus bunching and gapping on 11 routes, so they come at a more constant pace rather than all at once. Another aspect of the budget would be to freeze TTC fares at the same price that it has been for the last two years: $3.30 for single adults, $2.25 for seniors, and $2.35 for youths.

The board also approved the TTC’s 2025-2034 capital budget plan, requesting more than $5 billion in additional funds than the previous 10-year plan. This is mainly due to partnerships with over levels of government, like the $2.3 billion for 55 new subway trains along Line 2.
