#CantGetOn - Transit Day of Action

On January 30, 2018, TTCriders organized our biggest Transit Day of Action yet.

Volunteers converged at more than a dozen TTC stops and stations across Toronto, to mobilize riders and educate them about the transit issues at stake in the City Budget.

TTCriders is calling on John Tory and City Council to fund better TTC service and fix overcrowding this year.

The Budget Committee approved funding for 2-hour transfers and the low income Fair Pass last Tuesday. Now we need to keep the pressure on for better service. Send a message to John Tory and City Council before they start voting on the budget on February 12.

📸 Rally to Open the Crosstown

On February 19, 2025, TTCriders held the Rally to Open the Crosstown at Yonge and Eglinton to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects. Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.

TTCriders asked every party to invest in running TTC service and new LRTs with a 50% operating subsidy for local transit systems, and to give the TTC back control over running Toronto transit, to keep costs down and increase accountability.
