That is a good question. Can somebody answer that?
(edit) I just read the TTC monthly pass rules. There is no residency requirement mentioned. I don't believe they exist for OC Transpo either.
Regarding subsidies, there is a value in getting the furthest commuters off the roads. So, either we pay subsidies for transit or for road use.
As I said before, eliminating subsidies can never be perfect. We can waste a lot of money on trying to charge extra to non-residents for little long-term benefit.
But think, what about tourists? Do we want to charge tourists double to eliminate a subsidy? I think we have to be very careful before we go down that path.
