The chair of the TTC is looking to introduce a motion that would extend the high school student discount to all university and college students as well.

Last week, students from the Canadian Federation of Students launched the Fair Student Fares campaign calling on the Toronto Transit Commission to protect students from pending fare increases.

On Monday, TTC Chair Adam Giambrone announced that Tuesday, a motion will be considered to extend the high school student discount to public college and university students.

This would bring the cost of a metropass down to $91.25, which is about $18 cheaper than the current adult fare.

The TTC is voting on the motion on Tuesday at 1 p.m. at City Hall.

There are more than 150,000 college and university students in Toronto.
