According to the city, the increased fares will “support ongoing transit services, help address rising costs, and maintain the affordability of equity-based fare products.”
Low-income and discounted social services passes will not be increased, the city said, and free fares for children in Grade 8 and under remain in place.
The city noted that prices are going to be adjusted again at the end of this year.
“A second fare adjustment will take effect on January 1, 2027,” the city said in a statement.
A full list of the increased transit rates can be found on the city’s website.
