TTC token holder search

Toronto Filter: Where can I find a TTC token holder?

I've checked some Gateway News Stands but have yet to find one. Near downtown core is better.

I've seen various variety stores on St. Clair West (around Dufferin) advertising them, but I doubt they're the only ones. If you don't get an exact pointer from this thread, just try some corner stores in your neighbourhood.

Most of the dollar stores seem to have them. I always used to get mine at the place on Yonge (East side) just north of King -- I think it's between Sleep Country Canada and a Staples.

Convenience store outside Dupont station.

I got one from the little convenience store / stand in Dundas station when you enter to go south from the Eaton's Center.

Isn't there a little TTC merch shop in Union station? I think I heard they had them there, but I can't confirm it myself.

The dollar store outside Bathurst Station has the blue slidey ones. But, hark, Torontonians- I found something way better- a plastic keychain designed to hold pills that I got at Shopper's Drug Mart for like $4. It lives on my keychain, holds $40 worth of tokens, is easy to open, and it's fast to fill it. I like it better than any other token holder I've ever had, and believe me, I've tried every permutation of those things (slidey ones, spring-loaded ones, little pouches, loose in my wallet, stuck on strips of tape in my wallet, carrying entire rolls, etc etc etc).

Thanks. Yonge/King is really close to my office and I think I know the store you're talking about.

I've bought them from the newsstand inside Bloor Station (by the northbound Yonge Street platform) before.
