The entire TTC network will be free to ride on Sunday to celebrate the official opening of the Line 1 extension into York Region. "I encourage everyone to take the TTC tomorrow to see the city and to come up to this impressive six-stop extension. We want to celebrate this rapid transit expansion," Toronto Mayor John Tory said in a news release. Tory, along with TTC Chair Josh Colle and Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca, announced the free service on December 17 at Sheppard West station earlier Saturday. The project came with a $3.2-billion price tag, with costs shared unequally between the provincial government, the city, York Region and the federal government.
