this is not the muppets

This is so great! All the details on pricing won’t be available until November mostly because how large the discount will be will depend on how much money the province gives -- because the city does not want to raise the money for the program by increasing costs for other riders/raising taxes -- but here’s info from an earlier article:

2 options under consideration

Monday's staff report set out two potential options for a low income monthly pass in Ottawa:

One that would offer a 24 per cent discount, similar to an OC Transpo student pass, at a cost of $1.3 million per year.

One that would offer a 62 per cent discount, similar to the monthly pass for seniors and the community pass — available to ODSP and Para Transpo users — at a cost of $3.3 million per year.
