Frequently Asked Questions
It’s just like it sounds! It’s a book sharing initiative on Metrolinx & TTC property (busses, trains, streetcars, platform) in Toronto & GTA to encourage commuters to fall in love with reading again. There are new books every day, and they’re there to be taken, read, shared, and most importantly, enjoyed!
Just follow the instructions on our sticker, “Ride, Read, and Return”. If you find a book on the transit, feel free to take it home with you, read it, and be sure to return it back on Toronto transit for other commuters to enjoy!
Participate in our Book Bandits program (our version of Book Fairies!). Email us at booksonthetransit@gmail.com to get started.

Our primary missions are to promote a love of reading, community engagement, and random acts of kindness. We sincerely hope others will continue the sharing cycle of a book but of course, we operate on an honour system so we cannot guarantee.
