The Toronto Transit Commission meets on October 19th at 1:00pm in Committee Room # 2 in Toronto City Hall. Click here to review the agenda for their meeting.
Steve Munro, Toronto's expert TTC advocate, has published a preview of the TTC meeting which can be found on his blog.
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.
At their special budget meeting this morning, the Transit Commission ignored the pleas of transit riders and approved an Operating Budget that will reduce TTC service throughout the city in 2012.
At a time of record ridership, it is even more of a major step backward to reduce TTC service. The budget adopted by the Commission means riders can look forward to even more crowding on TTC vehicles, reductions in the frequency of buses, and less transit vehicles operating during rush hour on some of the TTC’s busiest routes.
Mayor Rob Ford is forcing the TTC to make bad business decisions by imposing an absolute 10% cut to TTC funding. With more riders than at any time in the TTC’s 90 year history, cuts to TTC service are completely unjustifiable!
