@HamiltonLibrary @McMasterU The sky will go dark like it is 30 minutes before sunrise or 30 minutes after sunset during the moment of totality. (It will probably look something more like this illustrated in the picture).

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@BurlONTransit Kids 12 and under ride fare-free on both BT and GO, and for youths and adults ages 13-64, using PRESTO, your transfer from the GO onto BT is FREE!

@townofoakville Hi @townofoakville can someone use a PRESTO MiWay (Mississauga Transit) monthly bus pass to board the Oakville bus?

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

Hi @burlontransit @cityburlington what is a "U-Pass"?

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

Hi @ttchelps can I use a specialty-punched "TTC Zone 3" paper transfer obtained from TTC 52 bus to board a connecting MiWay (Mississauga) or Brampton bus as long it is still valid? It does not mention Brampton Transit there. https://t.co/iqg4mjhDch

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@TTChelps It should say that customers who have paper transfers from other transit agencies such as Brampton Transit, MiWay and YRT are not eligible for the one-fare program discounts, and will be required to pay a full fare to board TTC. Can your teams look into updating site? @ttchelps

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

Hi @ttchelps thanks for update the transfers webpage to reflect 1-fare discounts but 1/2

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@TTChelps Also "The One Fare program does not include free transfers between the TTC, MiWay and YRT for customers who pay with cash, tickets, tokens or PRESTO Tickets" should also be updated.

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

I was just questioning this, if we have 2 kids under age 12 (who rides fare-free on BT) and are travelling with a paying adult, and plan to transfer onto HSR (Hamilton city bus) will my kids get a free transfer onto HSR, or will they need to pay upon boarding HSR? @burlontransit

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

Hi @cityburlington @BurlONTransit hi BT how are you doing? If we have 2 kids age 6 and 9 years old, and are travelling with a paying adult i.e. parent/caregiver, we use BT 1st and plan to transfer onto HSR, will my kids get free transfer on HSR or will they need to pay HSR fare?

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

Hi @cityoftoronto @ttchelps do you offer a "U-Pass"? What is a "U-Pass"?

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@GOtransit City of Hamilton is also inside the path of totality as well for the total solar eclipse, totality also arrives 3:18pm on Monday April 8, 2024 (if that is the right word). You can also get there by @gotransit.

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@BurlONTransit @cityburlington @burlontransit Just as a reminder for families with young children who may be travelling into @cityofhamilton and rely on @hsr services. https://t.co/F8ScQ6C7ac

[Hamilton Street Railway @hsr]

HSR offers free transit trips for children ages 6-12 with PRESTO.* NOTE: Children must have a PRESTO card. Otherwise, fare will be required.

You can pick up a card from a Fortinos or Shoppers, a Hamilton Public Library branch or from Customer Service at the Hamilton GO Station.

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@hsr Please note that anyone over the age of 6 that DOES NOT have a PRESTO card will be required to pay full cash fare of $3.50 upon boarding the HSR bus.

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@oakvilletransit Hi @townofoakville @oakvilletransit can you explain what does IVR mean in this illustrated X (Twitter) post above?

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@PRESTOcard Thanks for this. What is One Fare? @prestocard @ttchelps

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

Hi @TTChelps why are TTC PRESTO day passes not included in Ontario's One Fare Program? This can be very frustrating for some people such as after a day trip in Toronto getting around on TTC and transferring onto to Brampton, Mississauga, York and Durham buses are losing out.

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@TTChelps @PRESTOcard @Metrolinx In the future TTC 1-ride, 2-ride and day pass PRESTO tickets should allow a customer to give a 2-hour transfer onto other GTA transit systems as long as they started on the TTC 1st. @ttchelps @metrolinx @prestocard

[Alex (Scarborough) @AlexScarborugh1]

@TTChelps @PRESTOcard @Metrolinx In the future TTC PRESTO day pass tickets can allow a customer unlimited all-day rides across the TTC and also allow a 2-hour transfer to use on Brampton MiWay, YRT and DRT to complete a one-way trip without having to pay again (provided it was tapped on TTC 1st).
