On Tuesday, November 11 – Remembrance Day – decorated Canadian war and peacekeeping veterans will be able to ride the TTC for free.

Canadian war and peacekeeping veterans are required to show their service medals/ribbons to receive free access to TTC buses, streetcars, subway and SRT.

The Toronto Transit Commission moves 460 million people every year – about 1.5 million riders every weekday. The TTC is the third largest public transit system in North America servicing some 4.5 million people in the Greater Toronto Area, with a network of subways, streetcars, buses, and a specialized service, Wheel-Trans, for people who require accessible transportation. The TTC is committed to meeting the growing needs of the region with subway and light rail expansion, carrying an additional 175 million riders by 2021.
