It feels good to vent every once in a while doesn’t it?
Transit riders have been angry and frustrated for quite a while now. First the unfair fare hike, which lead to a token shortage, the return of tickets, and then a bunch of seemingly endless disruptions to regular service. Something had to give!
Then the now infamous “TTC Sleeper” photo became public.
Finally the broader public had someone to direct their anger at! Riders let out months of frustrations on the collector who was photographed napping while on duty. The “TTC Sleeper” became a lightning rod for all the problems with the TTC. Some over the top images began to circulate as riders typed, commented, and groaned their frustrations with the TTC.
We hope everyone feels better. We invite you to now participate in creating some lasting changes to the TTC. If you want to help get the TTC on track now and in the future, please consider volunteering with TTCRiders.ca and ensure riders are heard! (contact [email protected])
