National Post: 'The Ontario Liberals are promising to cut transit fares across the province to $1 per ride, if elected.
They say the election pledge would cost $1.1 billion next year and could take 400,000 cars off the road each day.
'Leader Steven Del Duca says this is a way to address the affordability crisis, saving a commuter taking the GO train from Whitby to Toronto more than $300 a month, for example.
'The Liberals are dubbing their plan “buck-a-ride,” a reference to a popular part of Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford’s 2018 platform to offer “buck-a-beer.”
'The Liberals say the $1 fares would apply to every transit system in Ontario, including GO Transit, municipal transit services and Ontario Northland service.'
