The new internal TTC report used a slightly different methodology than the earlier study and arrived at a higher dollar figure for evasion loses. “This is an issue of affordability, and hiring more fare inspectors is not going to solve that fundamental problem. The TTC is targeting an increased fare revenue recovery of at least $10 million this year. It will cost $3 million to hire an additional 50 revenue protection officers, for a net revenue increase of $7 million. The evasion report, which will be debated at the agency’s audit committee next Tuesday, determined evasion rates are the highest on streetcars, at 15.9 per cent.
