Hey

Does anyone know where you get the TTC metropasses and what do i have to bring since I am applying for the first time.

Any help would be appreciated:confused:

Just go to William small centre. There is usually a lineup of about 100 people, you can't miss it.

I think the info for metropasses can be found here http://www.yorku.ca/transportation/ttc-metropass.htm but I have posted a paragraph from the site which should answer the questions you had.

Discounted TTC Metropasses
TTC monthly Metropasses are sold for $96.00, which is a discounted rate of approximately 12% off the regular price which is $109.00 per month. Passes are available at the Parking and Transportation office, located at 222 William Small Centre, to any current Student, Staff or Faculty member. Please note that interested students must provide a valid Photo YU Card and staff/faculty must provide photo I.D. (i.e. driver's license, passport, or health card) and a current Employee pay stub or Sunlife Member card , in order to confirm York University status. These passes will not be sold to unaffiliated York University members. Passes are available while quantities last. For more information, please call 416.736.5335 or or e-mail transit@yorku.ca.

Hey thanks JC but can someone explain the employee stub part, im currently unemployed. Also since this is my first time getting a pass do i stand in line with everyone else or is their another line for first time buyers???

It seems like you only need a pay stub if you are faculty/staff(to prove you work for YorkU). If you are a student, just bring your YU card to prove you are a student of York. I am assuming you are a student since you mentioned you were unemployed. If you are really worried just call or email them. Also only first time buyers need to go in person to William Small so I would assume that most people who go in person are buying it for the first time. From the website:

To be eligible to renew your TTC Metropass online you must meet the following requirements:

* You must be a current student, staff or faculty member of York University with a valid Passport York Account
* You must have purchased one TTC Metropass in person from Parking & Transportation Services

Payment may be made on-line by Visa, MasterCard or Amex

TTC Metropasses may be picked up at Keele Campus from Parking & Transportation Services located in Room 222, William Small Centre or at the Glendon Parking Office located at the Glendon Greenhouse, during regular
business hours. You may choose to have your TTC Metropass mailed to your home or local address. Lost or stolen TTC Metropasses cannot be replaced by our office but can be obtained through regular TTC outlets for the standard TTC price. Parking and Transportation Services will not be responsible for any TTC Metropasses that are lost in the mail.

Hope that helps a bit
