Transit advocacy group TTCriders said the posters, albeit amusing, point to a serious problem plaguing the city’s transit system.
Toronto artist Shari Kasman was inspired to create faux flyers for the TTC — amusing posters that reflect the confusion many transit users currently feel. On Thursday morning, Kasman will post some of her flyers around College and Brock Sts., and along the 506 College streetcar route — an event heralded by Shelagh Pizey-Allen, executive director of TTCriders.

With only one mayoral debate confirmed, critics question health of local democracy.

A new regime of fines for fare dodgers on GO Transit has been approved Thursday by the agency that runs the service as it attempts to recover more lost revenue.

CP24 showcases the impacts on fare enforcement, including targeting people of colour, and large fines. Fare enforcement will be coming back this Fall from a break of the pandemic. The TTC says there is a massive budget shortfall. Riders also want to see more service on their routes and more affordable transportation that everybody can use. 
August from TTCriders explains that the Eglinton Crosstown needs signal priority so trains don't get stuck behind cars turning left.
