Read the letter from TTCriders about why transparency is needed about Reduced Speed Zones and Scarborough RT derailment reports.
Toronto, ON (February 22, 2024) -- The TTC was warned in advance about two of the “contributing factors” to the July 2023 derailment of the Scarborough RT and had stopped doing some preventative maintenance work, according to external consultant reports. The four reports were discovered on the TTC’s website by independent transit expert Steve Munro, but have not been reported to TTC Board members in a public meeting. Transit advocacy group TTCriders is urging accountability and transparency about the reports’ findings.
The TTC is conducting a survey seeking riders' feedback on policies regarding Special Constable and Fare Inspector enforcement activities.

In a mock awards ceremony at City Hall on Wednesday, volunteers dressed as marathon runners received medals for Toronto’s slowest bus routes among those where RapidTO improvements were promised.
Rankings included the 29 Dufferin in first place, 35 Jane in second, 60 Steeles West in third, and the 39 Finch East in fourth. The “awards ceremony” comes just a week before a report is set to be debated at the Executive Committee about Toronto’s plan to install more bus lanes.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Toronto, ON) - Volunteers dressed up as marathoners received medals in an awards ceremony, the week before a report will be debated at the Executive Committee about Toronto’s plan to install more bus lanes. Advocates say the plan should move more quickly and are disappointed that Steeles West is at the bottom of the list.
[TTCRiders] presented councillors Monday with a giant “invoice” for riders’ lost time since the derailment. They estimated the time added up to close to half-a-million hours. They pointed out that the busway could have been operational by late 2025 if it had been funded earlier.
