- New in 2026: the TTC dropped the adult, youth, senior and Fair Pass monthly passes on August 31. Now there's a fare cap instead: after 47 paid trips in a calendar month on the same card, the rest of the month is free.
- Post-secondary: TTC pay-as-you-go is the adult fare, but there's a $128.15 monthly pass if you have a TTC Post-Secondary Photo ID. If you're 19 or under you can use the youth fare.
- GO and UP Express: youth 13 to 19 and full-time post-secondary students get 40% off the adult single fare with PRESTO. College and university students need a new GO Student ID every year. Part-time students don't qualify.
- One Fare: transferring between TTC and GO on single fares makes the TTC part free.
