TTC Electronic Farebox

 

With the soaring cost of Toronto Transit Commission or TTC our city is looking for new money to get our transit to meet the needs of our exploding population growth.

 

Toronto is a major destination for people that are moving to Canada.

 

 Over the years this city has been spoiled because the province paid for a certain percentage of our transit bill so the TTC growth and budget always counted on Ontario for money.

 

One day the province decided not to pay because they felt at the time that the city should run their transit on their funds only and ever since then the TTC has been in crises.

 

There are ways of raising the money, which are raising the property taxes or raising the transit fares.

 

No one wants to pay more property taxes and if the transit fares go up too much the people will just use their cars creating more congestion on the roads and dramatically increasing the greenhouse gases.

 

The other way of getting more money is by running an efficient service and it just simply can't be done if the true numbers are not available.

 

The electronic farebox is the answer that would eliminate a lot of empty buses on the routes.

 

The electronic farebox can help in creating better scheduling which would put the transit vehicle where it is really needed. 

 

The electronic farebox would expose fare cheaters who are the ones that drop a handful of change in which is a lot less than the actual fares.

 
With the electronic farebox the TTC would be "The Better Way"
