TTC tokens
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 7:06 pm
I bought 3 rolls of tokens last December ($150 per roll). I am now aware that they are phasing out TTC tokens. By August they will no longer be selling tokens and by the end of the year they will no longer accept tokens as fare. The TTC is not giving a refund for unused tokens. Nor are they allowing people the option to transfer the value of the tokens to the new system of payment- a PRESTO card (which is provincially run, and another sign that coinage is going to be a thing of the past). All they will do is replace tokens for monthly passes and tickets which also will be phased out. I am wondering whether I should get rid of my tokens as soon as possible or keep them. Common sense suggest to save just a few, maybe 5 or 10....
