In a win for riders of the #SufferinDufferin and bus routes all across the city, today the TTC Board approved new express bus service on 7 routes, and additional bus service. The new service will relieve peak and off-peak crowding and means that we will enjoy more frequent, reliable service starting in Fall 2018.
Better bus service, coming Fall 2018!
Better bus service, coming Fall 2018!
During the 2018 City Budget process, TTCriders advocated for more funding for the TTC so riders could have two-hour fares, better service, lower fares, and relief from overcrowding. $3 million in additional funding for the TTC was added during the budget process thanks to our advocacy, which is funding the additional bus service starting September 2018. The TTC "reallocated" an extra $2 million for service in 2018, and voted to annualize this new service.
Our organizing paid off. Want to win better TTC service and lower fares for transit riders? Join TTCriders and our fight for an affordable, world-class public transit system.
