Stop the unfair UP Express price hike for Employees

[arezania]

YYZ UP express commuters… I’ve had enough of the random, unjustified price hikes.

Please take a moment to sign below, I would insanely appreciate it:)

I like many airport employees in Toronto, rely on the UP Express to commute to work. The fares are set to rise to $7.41 for a trip from Union to Pearson - an over 50% fare hike from the current fare and a shocking 111% increase from just one year ago. This is making it increasingly unaffordable for us hardworking individuals who need this service daily.

The affordability of public transit is crucial not only for airport employees but also for maintaining a sustainable city with less traffic congestion and pollution. A study by Metrolinx found that every dollar invested in public transit increases GDP by $3 (Metrolinx, Benefits Case Analysis). Yet, these constant fare hikes are pushing people away from using public transport.

We understand that operational costs may necessitate some increases in fares over time; however, such drastic hikes are unjustifiable and place an undue burden on those of us who rely on this service most.

We urge Metrolinx and the Government of Ontario to reconsider this decision and work towards creating a more affordable transit system for all Torontonians. Please sign this petition if you believe in fair transit fares!

We fought that fight in YYC. It took years but we won last Summer.

Thanks for doing this in YYZ.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to convince YYC Airport Authority to drop the public transit airport surcharge for airport workers.

Please help me by signing and sharing this. Even if you don't take the bus, or aren't based in YYC feel free to sign. If it doesn't help you directly it might help the guy who makes you coffee at the airport Tim Horton's.

Would be nice if this could be done in YVR, $5 surcharge

I am curious why any selected group of employees should get a continued deep subsidy for their living / commuting costs.

We all have them.

Who should pay, if the user doesn't want to?

Its 10 bucks to take the Go train each way from the suburbs downtown for everyone else. At least.

Like to hear the rationale why 7 bucks for an express, premium quality ride is so outrageous.

There is local TTC bus service at the same price as any TTC ride. Express, even.

Im with rookie on this, if the UP costs “X” to run then that should be the cost. The bus runs to Pearson as well and is cheaper than the UP so if cost is an issue then you can use the bus.

Thank you for your reply,

I don’t know you or know what your situation is, but I am going to make an educated guess that you don’t live in downtown Toronto.

Taking the UP reliably gets me to T1 security in about 45-50 mins from my doorstep.

If I was to take the TTC, I would have to take a series of busses, unreliable, probably closer to 2- 2.5 hours to get to work.

I also agree that GO train fares are very expensive, it doesn’t allow someone to get by without a vehicle reliably.

The UP has pearson in its name, and is designed for pearson. It would only make sense that the people that are employed at pearson would receive a subsidy to get to and from work.
Also, a regular fare on the UP is $12.35. It’s not designed for an everyday commuter, but once in a while traveller, hence the premium cost over the GO. That is why pearson employees have been receiving a discount. I don’t drive, I don’t even think a lot of employees could afford to drive either so they take the UP. When people budget for a 3.50 ride and it shoots up to 7.41, how do you expect people to sit still?

Again, I don’t know what your situation is, but I am sure you agree that 15$ vs 7$ is a very big and expensive difference just to get to work?

Im with rookie on this, if the UP costs “X” to run then that should be the cost. The bus runs to Pearson as well and is cheaper than the UP so if cost is an issue then you can use the bus.

How do you define the 'cost' of running a train to an airport though? It's very easy to manipulate that cost without any change to the service. Do you include land use, airport fees, airport personnel costs which might only play a minor role in the operation of the service?

Then there's the public transportation debate itself: should only the users pay, or everyone who benefits from it? Less people on the road means the people in their car encounter less traffic jams. It also affects property values, living X miles from public transportation does have an effect. 'public transportation' does have the 'public' attached to it. It's not uncommon for public services to be (partially) funded by taxes.

And then there's the 111% hike. If that's true, then it does raise some questions, no? You can't expect people to rely on public transportation, and then double the fees. Of course that would generate some strong response. A city like Toronto would benefit a lot from a more extensive public transportation network. But nobody is going to sell their car if the public transportation costs can double from one year to the next.

Thanks for your reply Fish4life

Similar to the lack of fishing spots in downtown Toronto, there are a lack of accessible and reliable options to take TTC to the airport.

1 HOUR 10 MINUTES ON TTC.

33 minutes UP.

Not 2.5 hours.

Both measured from Union.

Still don't see the case expressed for special treatment. Unlike me when I take the GO, you still have a nice discount. Its just less than it was.

Countless people commute an hour. Life is challenging, no doubt.

That fact doesn't explain a special interest group subsidy.

[JustaCanadian]

I agree with rookie. End of the day, the service has an operating budget. If the people who ride it don’t pay for it, this means someone else picks up the tab. These transit systems are already overly subsidized and expensed on those who don’t even use them.

My question would be what right do you have to my labour? Why should I pay more taxes to fund your commute to work? If you can answer these questions maybe more people would sign. Maybe it’s time to look at other options and ditch UP. I think they wanted UP to be more of a premium passenger link than an employee shuttle anyway. If ridership is increasing this is probably just to push employees out slowly for the long term. Employee discount might just disappear completely in the future.

A lot of downtown people vote for parties that like to create carbon taxes. It makes those voters feel good and they can demonize those against as bad people. Part of feeling good about carbon taxes is paying more for diesel operated transport like UP Express. Perhaps you should feel better about this instead of complaining. A lower standard of living is what was voted for.

That said, there is a federal election coming up in the next two years. Change is slow even with a new party in power. It took a long time for the average standard of living to start accelerating downward. It will take a long time for it to potentially accelerate the other way. But the downtown folk might want think about it.

I believe your recently elected NDP mayor and multiple elected PM have spent a lot on bike lanes. It may not be the most comfortable thing to do for most of the year but that is what was voted for, not common sense questioning. And don't forget, there are much more important things to be considered, like the 9 million required to rename Dundas street to Sanofkee.

Socialism is like a financial drug. It feels so good to get that $100 rebate each time. Unfortunately, the slow payment of $120 between each high is the long term consequential withdrawal symptom.

Most people don’t live inside union station, (granted there are a few people who do, i’m not friends with them)

But for your argument I would love to see, on a snowy day at 6 in the morning you get from Union to Pearson in an hour and 10 mins. 1:10 is assuming a perfect, frictionless world

Hey justacanadian thanks for your reply,


I really don’t think YYZ commuters are really taking from your labour. I don’t think it costs you any difference in tax, whether we ride for 3.50 or $7.41. It has never once felt like an employee shuttle, most of the time there are a plethora of seats available. This is also a service for anyone who has a YYZ RAIC.

I would think there are definitely bigger and more concerning things your tax money is going to “waste” for

TTC is also has one of the most expensive transit fares in the world. So no, I absolutely do not think it’s overly subsidized. Transit should be subsidized over electric cars and such.

Hmmm… let me see.
I have family abroad who served in the military… they get some discounts at their local stores
My girlfriend used to work at starbucks and police officers got a discount on drinks/free too
Doctors get discounts at some health and fitness centers
Nurses get discounts at lululemon
Instagram influencers get discounts at Jack Astors
Heck, a lot of airports give discounts on food/duty free to pilots, FAs even if they don’t work at that airport. Next time you are offered a discount at a subway in ORD, I am sure you will decline, as you don’t deserve special treatment right?

It’s not about who deserves what. It’s about respecting people who put in work to make things go round. These tiny minute discounts don’t affect you or your taxes.

Instead you should redirect your anger to people who blatantly take advantage of the system.

Cheers mate

Those are private companies. Not comparable.

And doesn't answer the question: Why should one group get special treatment for a publicly funded service?

[Grey_Wolf]

As a commuter, I try to minimize my time taking any form of public transit; however it's a necessary evil.

My impressions are that it should be a user-paid system. Look at the 407 for example. When I drive from Ottawa/Montreal to Waterloo/London (about 6 times a year), I will gladly hop on/off the 407 and avoid the 401 like the plague. It the cost worth it? In my mind it is to avoid a 2 hour slowdown/stop/crawl when it's jammed up. What about airports you say? Guess what, there are charges associated for their use as well (Security Fee, Airport Improvement fee). Using a cart at the grocery store, ditto, token or loose change.

I've had the pleasure of using the UP Express train service multiple time to/from YYZ/YTZ. At 12$ a ride, the questions becomes what's your time worth? You could probably take other forms of transit (bus, cab, rideshare, etc..) and get there sooner, but at an increased cost.

We can speak to the fact, that employers do give perks that may reduce the cost associated with travel to/from work. Think parking stipends, employee lot parking, reduced rate at public parking spaces, etc... however the cost lays with the employee and there will always be a cost to travel. YOU choose that evil, you want freedom and not be on a schedule and dependent on others; Great! Get ready to pay for car, gas, insurance, maintenance, parking space. Out of curiosity (mostly rhetorical), I'd like to know what the cost is associated for doing so; I'd wager it probably significantly more than 12$ per trip to/from work.

Having a public entity give lower fares to attract ridership is contentious, corporations need to recoup the cost that they invested into the program. This is normally done over a longer timeframe in order to minimize cost to the user (or at least it should); the increase in cost can be attributed to overall ridership numbers (a smaller group of people paying more to maintain the system), cost associated with operating said system (purchasing, maintaining buses, subway cars, trains, terminals, electricity, heating/cooling cost, etc...). At the end of the day, there will instances, where someone has to pay for the shortfall via taxes, and subsidies.

Lastly, your post seems to sensationalize the increase of the fare. Let's look at the cost associated with your purchase of said ticket. 111% of sweet nothing is next to nothing. 50% of zero is still pretty close to zero. Granted "death by a thousand cuts" or "nickel and diming" arguments can be made, the average pilot in this economy is doing better than the median. If your concerned about 3$ per ride, you may have to have a serious look at your finances. Toronto has been and will forever be a money sink-hole, one I continue to intend to stay away from.

All the best in your petition,

Side note:

Why special treatment should be justified for one group?

Because of the culture of entitlement. Toronto has become a tapestry of "what about me?", "NIMBY's", and special interests. Hard to ignore when everyone is scratching for survival in these economic times. Just remember who helped or hindered you (without getting political or pointing fingers)

[digits_]

I guess all those pilots objecting to the OP don't try and fight those AIF for commuters anymore either

Hey man..... in yer preamble ya forgot yours truly, all 74 yrs of me. I get discounts all over the place, now whether I am worth it or deserve shall let y'all hash that out.

[rookiepilot]

My $.02.

We can’t afford carveouts. Anywhere. The system is broke, from transit agencies to cities.

I am an advocate for (modest) user fees across the board for public services. To see a doctor, for an ER visit, and parking. For road usage, including by EV’s. Parking is stupidly underpriced in most places.

Things cost money. Users need to pay.

The TTC, at 3 bucks, covers an enormous area. In inflation adjusted terms, its stupid cheap for an Ok system.

I find the folks that most loudly complain about the reliability also complain about the fares.

Its math. Stuff costs money. And we have less and less taxpayers for every retiree, too.

Strap in. Big changes will be forced upon all of us down the road. (Looking at you, retired people).

If your idea means that income taxes will fund the difference, then it’s a fact that you think you have a right to my labour. And the more money I make the higher percentage of my labour will be taken.

Take all the handouts you can get, just don’t expect everyone to be on board with being a slave to our governments spending.

Everything is paid for and nothing is free. So tell us who should pay, so that you can get a discount?

And yes you are correct this is so small and meaningless in the big picture. But when you add this mentality over everything we are taxed for it’s adds up to over half of our labour. Why do people feel entitled to half of everything I work for?
