Same in Ottawa. If you can find a parking spot, and ignore gas, maintenance and insurance (which most people do for short trips). It’s cheaper to drive downtown for an event, if you’re single.

If you’re a family (5 people in a sedan), it’s cheaper with including cost of car ownership.

It’s $3.70 per ticket. $7.40 for a round trip.

$14.80 for two adults and unlimited children.

And a whole $37.00 if they have three children 13 or above.

But the value of homes is inflated in Toronto. And the density of homes is greater. So it’s kind of an apples and oranges comparison. The idea is to raise taxes on those who have the means to afford it.
