You're going to have to pay if you want to take the subway this holiday season.

The TTC and its sponsor, Corby Spirit & Wine, stated the move was made because they didn't want to "encourage" people to party this holiday season.
"We hope everyone safely celebrates the end of 2020 by NOT gathering."
However, regular transit service will still run.
