The total contract includes a firm order for 186 Xcelsior CHARGE NG heavy-duty transit buses.
New schedules on some routes will improve reliability along busy corridors, add seasonal service to key city attractions, better align capacity with ridership demand, and accommodate construction across the city.
This funding will enable the TTC to purchase 340 zero-emission buses and 248 bus chargers.
The new charging system expands the TTC's charging capacity.
The TTC is deploying additional management staff to be present across the system – approximately 80 employees a day.
The budget also recommends a 10-cent fare increase on single cash and PRESTO rides.
With the funding announced, the City of Toronto will be able to expand and rehabilitate the existing subway station to improve efficiency and capacity.
New PRESTO card readers are now being field tested on two buses and one streetcar in advance of a full replacement of readers on both fleets.
