TTC Announces Metropass Refund Policy
The TTC announced their refund policy today for holders of an April Metropass. The policy, needed after the weekend's impromptu strike, calls for refunds to be issued starting May 5th. Those who have a regular April Adult Metropass will receive $7.50. For other types, check the refund amounts here.
At $7.50, the TTC is refunding the cash equivalent of about three rides. This may seem like a fair amount as it's roughly equivalent to the expected use on a typical half weekend. But, for the legions who were stranded at the wee hours of Saturday morning I suspect this won't come close to covering what they had to pony up for the emergency cab fare.

Wouldn't CCRA notice that you both submitted passes with the same identifying number?
=D
Thanks TTC. A cab from Islington and Bloor to Pape and Danforth is a LITTLE more than $7.50, but thanks.
My understanding of the press release Tim linked to is that the CRA has agreed that, for April, photocopies of the pass will be accepted even in the case of an audit.
I've done it when I travel to remind guards that knitting needles are allowed on airplanes. I've never needed it, though, but I have it just in case.
The cash refund is the best way to go, IMO. It ensures nobody is left out.
