How does the ticket thing work? Is it $2.55 for every ride? So if one's going to Mac and coming back, would we have to buy a ticket twice? :/

If you ask for a transfer when u first pay the driver (usually good for 2-4 hrs depending on the time of day) and were at mac for less than that allotted amount of time, you could get back home on the transfer.

im assuming it works like most transit companies.. so u buy a strip of 5-10 at a reduced price from authorized retailers

example (the ttc doesnt use adult tickets anymore tho) one adult ttc fare cost $3 or one token... u buy 5 tokens for about $12.50 (save 2.50)

The price is $2.55 if you pay cash at the bus, but you can buy a sheet of 5 tickets for $10 ($2 each). These tickets are available at most convenience stores and are definitely the best way to go. You exchange the ticket for a transfer when you get on the bus.

COMPASS offers a one month, two month and four month pass for summer school students ONLY for a discounted price, pretty good deal if you're going to be bussing around a lot in the summer.
