Comment I submitted via the TTC website online comment form just now:

Having travelled to Sydney, Australia recently I noticed something that I thought was really great about the Cityrail system in relation to weekly and monthly passes.

In Sydney passes can be purchased on any day of the month and the machine will calculate the expiry 7 days or 30/31 days from the date and time of purchase. This is really flexible, and in contrast to the current TTC system, does not limit the customer’s purchasing options. Logically it makes sense to offer a weekly or monthly pass from the date and time of purchase, not from the beginning of the month only or the beginning of the week only.

I would encourage TTC to investigate the possibility of implementing a similar system for purchasing weekly and monthly passes.

I have also had feedback from visitors to Toronto who suggested that a weekend pass would be a good idea, instead of having to purchase two daily passes.

I love the new website design, can’t wait to see it go live!

AC

Fingers crossed that the message goes to somebody who cares.
