Deadline for use of transit tokens unfair and unequitable: TTC Riders.

Less than one per cent of riders still use tokens and tickets.

Councillor Jamaal Myers says he will be putting forth a motion at the next TTC Board meeting on Dec. 3 to defer the deadline.

There are about $22 million worth of TTC tokens and tickets outstanding.

The Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT lines don't accept tokens or tickets.

My motion to the TTC board will ask for an extension to the Dec. 31 deadline, but there will still be an end date.

“We just have to be very careful and fiscally prudent in how we go about this,” Myers says.
