Fair Fare Coalition

Sistering - A Woman's Place: Supporting ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances: "The Fair Fare Coalition is committed to working together to make public transit more accessible, now and in the long-term, for all community members, especially people who do not have other travel options. One of the coalition’s first actions was to gather information from people who are impacted by fare costs. People were invited to write comments about what the fare increase meant to them and the importance of public transit in their lives. We collected 237 comments in English, Spanish and Mandarin.

These comments are part of Fred Victor’s Photography Group project to document experiences of the TTC and raise awareness of the impact of the high cost of travel in Toronto.
