By the end of this month, and just in time for a brand-new learning season, the OC Transpo Youth Pass will be no more. Troy Charter, the Interim GM for OC Transpo, broke the news in a recent memo to City Council. Right now, the monthly Youth Pass costs $104 per month, while the monthly Adult Pass is $135 per month. And as you might expect, the city’s biggest transit critics are not impressed. We dig deeper in Hour 1 with David Jeanes, a spokesperson for Transport Action Canada.

Joining the show with her selections is Katherine Dines from MOVE 100. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
