Metrolinx spokesperson Matt Llewellyn says the service believes the increase is due in part to riders getting back into their regular routine after the summer. Province tells Toronto to consider replacing low-performing bus routes with 'microtransit'. GO Transit is reminding customers to check the balance of their Presto cards and, if necessary, load them before getting to the station.
Bill Grodzinski, GO Transit's chief special constable and director of transit safety, says historically GO Transit sees an increase of fare evasion at this time of year. Metrolinx is also reminding customers that there are several contactless ways riders can pay for their fares, and that another way to ensure there are available funds is to set up autoload, which automatically adds funds when the balance reaches an amount set by the customer.
Josh Matlow, city councillor for Toronto-St. Paul's, says the rise in fare evasion is concerning, but he'd like to know more details about why there's an uptick. Matlow says understanding why should be a part of the discussion, as the COVID pandemic has resulted in many people losing their jobs.
Matlow added that he's not surprised by the uptick, and if the root cause is affordability, he believes Metrolinx should consider temporarily lowering their fares.
