My @thestar.com column: Toronto’s a ridiculously wealthy city. But why does it seem like so many of the city’s rich are more likely to complain about bike lanes or property taxes than they are to ever write a cheque?

TTC fares have risen faster than the rate of inflation over the past 30 years.

That's why we're glad to hear Mayor Olivia Chow is planning a potential fare freeze in 2025.

But it's not a done deal - your voice is needed to make sure a fare freeze is funded in the City Budget!
