On Tuesday October 25th TTCriders will meet to discuss the current state of public transit in Toronto.
This meeting will include a question and answer session with special guest, Chris Upfold, the TTC's Chief Customer Service Officer. Mr. Upfold has agreed to attend the meeting, answer questions transit riders have, and he has stated his interest in working WITH US to help improve the TTC.
This is a great opportunity to discuss public transit issues with an important TTC Executive and could be the start to what we hope can be a positive working relationship between the TTC and TTCriders.
A lot has happened in the last few weeks that will have a major impact on how we get around in 2012 and beyond. At the September TTC meeting the Toronto Transit Commission approved cuts to the TTC's 2012 budget that will mean fewer buses will be operating. The Commission expects riders to be ok with even more crowding on their buses and to be fine with buses arriving less frequently.
If you disagree with cutting public transit service, especially when more of us are riding the TTC than at any time in its history, please consider sending a message to our elected leaders about the Commission's decision. We need to take advantage of the remaining TTC meetings in 2011 to send a clear message to the Commission that we want more and better public transit for Toronto, not less!
