In Toronto it is currently set as any child up tot the age of 2 can ride the subway for free, the new mayor is proposing to raise the age that free fare for kids to 12. What has me concerned as a person that pays cash fare is how will that effect the fares for the rest of the people?

I think it's good but show me the pros and cons of it before saying it is the best solution

Wow - how lucky to get anything for free.

If they want to increase the age to 5yrs that seems enough but I
wonder if to 12 yrs is a bit too much.

Kids these days seem to expect a free ride everywhere - if you know
what I mean.
Going to school should be a lower fair of course.

happy

To me that doesn't sound too bad...for a big city...and young people should have accessible ways to get around..could save some parents a little money...my home town just made our bus line free for everyone at least for the next three years...several local businesses all pitched in and covered the cost...sure there was a tax break for them...but it's still pretty darn cool..:wink:
