Concert-goers attending shows at Rogers Stadium can travel home on the subway for free at select Line 1 stations throughout the summer. The program returns this year ahead of Bruno Mars concerts scheduled for this weekend and next. Fans must show their concert ticket to TTC staff to ride free. Live Nation sponsors the free service from Shepherd West Station, Downsview Park, and Wilson Station, beginning 30 minutes before each show ends. The TTC will also add more subway service and additional staff to help move crowds smoothly. Mayor Olivia Chow said transit is the fastest, easiest, and most affordable option and can reduce road congestion. Other summer performers include Post Malone, BTS, Foo Fighters, and Guns N' Roses.
