Here's the full video of former Transit City mayor, David Miller, speaking about transit activism in Toronto

"I love the name. It's not TTC customers. Riders have a right. You've got some right to a say over the TTC. It's our transit system, owned by the people of Toronto."

With that emphatic statement, David Miller capped a fantastic fundraising drive and social event. Many thanks to everyone who came out to our 2015 fundraiser. A special thanks to Mary Breen, our incredible Fundraising Director, for orchestrating the event from start to finish.

A few highlights:

📸 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.
