What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Diesel prices in southern Ontario are nearly double what they were this time last year, hovering around $2.60. Since the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, rising oil prices have immediately impacted drivers. Metrolinx, the agency running GO Transit, has stated it has no current plan to raise fares, managing costs through a fixed discount fuel supply arrangement. Via Rail is also monitoring costs, noting that rising prices are not currently affecting fares or service.
