#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.
