Toronto TTC Metropass or Tokens

24 Jul

If you are frugal like me, and you take the TTC, you probably have wondered if it was cheaper to buy a monthly TTC Metropass or buy tokens to use for your daily trips.  You have probably counted the working days in a year, subtracted your vacation and planned sick days, and came up with the number of trips you take in a year.  Then you pulled out the calculator, added in the tax advantage of using the Metropass and determined which would be cheaper.
 
Well if you did not do all of that, it’s okay, I am going to do it all for you right here.  I have not run the numbers yet, but I am guessing for the average commuter the tokens are cheaper, and for those who also ride outside of work the Metropass cheaper.
