Starting September 1, 2026, riders will only pay up for up to 47 trips within a month. After that, every ride becomes FREE for the rest of the month.

No monthly pass needed upfront anymore. Just tap your PRESTO, debit, or credit card as usual, and once you hit the 47-trip cap, you’re riding for free until the month resets.

This applies to adults, youth, seniors, and Fair Pass users, making TTC travel more flexible depending on how often you actually commute.

This can seriously change how Toronto moves, especially for hybrid workers and occasional commutes.

Would this save you money or change how often you take transit?

Toronto foodies!

There’s a secret bar hiding behind a graffiti door in Toronto and we are NOT talking about it enough.

Walk through a spray-painted door in Queen West and suddenly you’re in the moodiest cocktail bar in Toronto.

Filipino-inspired drinks, secret menu items, live DJ sets and velvet everything... 520 Cafe Bar is the vibe fr.

The front is giving cozy cafe. The back is giving main character energy. It’s literally two spots in one.

Victoria Day fireworks are officially returning to Toronto this long weekend.

The city’s annual fireworks show will light up the sky at Ashbridges Bay Park on May 18 at 10 PM, with thousands expected to gather along the waterfront for the tradition.

You can also catch the fireworks from nearby spots like Woodbine Beach, Woodbine Park, and Tommy Thompson Park if you want to avoid the biggest crowds.

Which spot would you choose to watch the fireworks this year?

Toronto’s latest cafe opening is already getting attention for its dollhouse-inspired design and aesthetic🍰

Maison 118 Bakery has officially opened on Queen West, with pastel interiors, whimsical yet playful details, and a no-laptop policy to keep the space more social and a place to bond.

The bakery serves pastries, desserts, and drinks in a setting designed for slowing down and spending time offline with loved ones and friends.

🚨 Mother’s Day Promo 🚨

Hey Toronto foodies.

I just tried the Original Ka Chi in Kensington Market and it was such a good experience.

The service was really nice and made me feel comfortable right away.

I ordered a sample-style combo so I could try a bit of everything.

Everything is made fresh to order, and you can try a little bit of everything — crispy shrimp tempura, pan-fried chicken dumplings, japchae, bulgogi, chicken wings, Korean rice balls, and spicy tteokbokki.

My favourites were the bulgogi and spicy rice cake 🔥

Perfect if you want Korean comfort food that’s tasty, filling, and affordable.

đź’° Starts from $3.99

PROMO CODE: ORIGINAL-SP7

Mother’s Day Promo (May 9-11): 10% off all entire menu!

Union Station is bringing back its huge free summer festival in downtown Toronto.

Toronto is getting an ultra-exclusive FIFA watch party experience and the packages cost a jaw-dropping $7,500.

A luxury showroom inside Brookfield Place is turning into a private FIFA viewing lounge complete with skyline views, cocktails, standard drinks, and passed canapés from Chotto Matte for up to 20 guests.

Split evenly, that’s about $375 per person for a VIP World Cup night in downtown Toronto.

Would you actually pay luxury prices for a FIFA watch party experience?

Toronto commuters, take note 🚧

Getting around Toronto this weekend won’t be easy with major disruptions across roads, highways, and the subway.

Parts of TTC Line 2 Bloor–Danforth will be closed, the DVP is under maintenance, and big events like a marathon and sports games will add more traffic.

If you’re heading out, expect delays and plan your trips early.
