You may have also been hearing/reading various media stories about possible changes to the fare structure and/or service cuts to deal with a discepency between expected revenues and costs of the system. Several possibilities could arise including increases to seniors' passes, low-income passes, regular monthly passes, transit tickets, cash fares, or just an across-the-board increase. Zone systems are also up for discussion. The shortfall could also be covered by service cuts or subsidy increases (i.e. more tax revenue).
I'll leave the relevant report here. The matter has been through committee and will soon go through council, where any solutions will be decided.

For me this is incredibly discouraging. It is already borderline cheaper to drive (and much much faster) for most things.
