In 2009, when the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) announced transit fare hikes, the York Federation of Students (YFS) and the Glendon College Students Union-Association etudiante (GCSU-AECG), along with student unions from across the GTA, mobilized and established the “Fair Student Fares” campaign. Students collected over 10,000 petition signatures and presented deputations convincing the TTC that post-secondary students were in need of a discounted transit program. Due to this hard work and commitment, students managed to win a $99.00 post-secondary student discounted Metropass.
