FAQ about London Transit


Get on Board: A handy reference that answers many common questions about using London Transit

If you are unfamiliar with the LTC routes serving the origin or destination of your trip, you can try using the London Transit Interactive CityMap. This program will permit you to find the bus routes that serve your trip origin and destination points.

Fares: An adult fare is $2.75 (with a 90 minute transfer), but 5 tickets can be purchased for $9.50 ($1.90 each) at at either of our offices and at hundreds of convenient locations throughout the city. 
Public Transit Tax Credit: On July 1, 2006, the Government of Canada launched its program to offer individual Canadians a non-refundable tax credit to help cover the cost of public transit. Because it is a non-refundable tax credit, anyone who applies does not receive the money in the form of a refund. Instead, the amount claimed is multiplied by the lowest personal income tax rate for the year and then is deducted from the amount of tax owed for that year.
