====Connecting GTA transit agencies==== [[File:Union Station, Toronto (30427373561).jpg|thumb|[[Union Station (Toronto)|Union Station]] serves as an intermodal transportation hub for Toronto. TTC passengers may connect to intercity bus and rail services at this station.]] The TTC connects with other transit systems of the [[Greater Toronto Area]]. [[GO Transit]], [[Union Pearson Express]], [[MiWay]], [[York Region Transit]] (YRT), [[Brampton Transit]], and [[Durham Region Transit]] (DRT) are connected to the TTC via some of Toronto's subway stations, GO Transit's commuter rail stations, and other hubs like [[Toronto Pearson International Airport]]. In addition to Union Station, there are 6 other stations where the TTC subway network and GO Transit commuter rail lines intersect.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://transittoronto.ca/regional/2108.shtml |website=Transit Toronto |access-date=July 5, 2017 |title=GO Train/Toronto Subway Connections Current and Proposed |last=Bow |first=James}}</ref> Some bus routes of the surrounding local transit agencies run on Toronto streets along with TTC buses, mainly to reach TTC subway stations. Examples of this include YRT buses travelling on Yonge Street en route to [[Finch Bus Terminal]], MiWay buses travelling on various streets in Etobicoke en route to [[Kipling Bus Terminal]]<!--Don't bypass redirect per [[WP:NOTBROKEN]]--> and DRT buses travelling on various streets in Scarborough en route to [[Scarborough Centre station]]. However, by law, other local transit agencies are prohibited from carrying passengers wholly within the City of Toronto. Therefore, YRT, DRT and MiWay buses can only drop off passengers inbound and pick up passengers outbound while within the boundaries of Toronto. Originally, there were no free or discounted transfers between suburban agencies (which still have separate fare structures) and the TTC. But on February 26, 2024, Ontario's One Fare Program, a GTA-wide fare integration program allowing free or discounted transfers between the TTC and other GTA transit systems (within either a two-hour or three-hour window), was implemented.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ontario rolling out GTA-wide transit fare integration on Feb. 26 |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/fare-integration-gta-ttc-go-1.7105022 |website=CBC News |access-date=February 27, 2024 |date=February 6, 2024}}</ref> However, the policy only applies to fare payments made with Presto, credit, or debit card; customers paying with cash are ineligible to receive free or discounted transfers and are still required to pay a double fare.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/Updates/One-Fare-Program |title=Ontario's One Fare Program: Frequently Asked Questions |publisher=Toronto Transit Commission |access-date=February 27, 2024}}</ref>
