At one of Toronto’s busiest transit stations, some riders have found a way to access free rides on the bus or subway by taking advantage of unsecured bus bays on Duplex Avenue. This practice, deemed dangerous and illegal by the TTC, has become a real problem in terms of fare evasion at this location. Global’s Sean O’Shea reports that the open fare evasion is happening right in front of anyone who passes by.
The TTC has made it clear that this behavior is not only against the law, but it also puts both riders and staff at risk. With fare evasion already being a concern for the transit system, this unauthorized access to free rides only adds to the challenge of maintaining revenue and ensuring the safety of all passengers.
It is important for riders to understand that taking advantage of unsecured bus bays in order to evade paying fares is not only unethical but also has real consequences. The TTC is working to address this issue and increase security measures to prevent further incidents of fare evasion at this location.
