Transit advocates gave a TTC subway station a makeover early Friday, posting their own signs and adding stickers to existing signs and maps, in an effort to push the city to fund a new TTC wayfinding system.
Commuters entering and exiting King Station may have had an easier time navigating their transit route this morning. Joe Craib, a TTCriders volunteer, said he was motivated to participate in the campaign because the TTC’s existing signage is “outdated” and “confusing.”

Inaudible announcements on the TTC have been an ongoing struggle for subway riders but there might be light at the end of the tunnel.
Transit riders may see fare inspectors on bus platforms starting Monday as the TTC expands efforts to curb fare evasion. Karin Meinzer, a former volunteer with the transit advocacy group TTCriders, says fare inspection in general is problematic. Greater efforts should be made by governments to ensure low income people are able to use transit, she says.
Some TTC bus riders could be asked for proof of payment starting next week as the TTC expand its fare enforcement program.
(Toronto, Ontario) – Transit and environmental groups across Canada are celebrating a commitment by Liberal leadership candidate Frank Baylis to increase the Canada Public Transit Fund. Federal Liberal Party leadership candidates were surveyed about their transit commitments by Environmental Defence, TTCriders, Movement: Metro Vancouver Transit Riders, Trajectoire Québec, Activate Transit Windsor Essex, and Équiterre.
On February 19, 2025, TTCriders held the Rally to Open the Crosstown at Yonge and Eglinton to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects. Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.
TTCriders asked every party to invest in running TTC service and new LRTs with a 50% operating subsidy for local transit systems, and to give the TTC back control over running Toronto transit, to keep costs down and increase accountability.
Investing in transit means good, green Canadian jobs. See how federal Liberal Party leadership candidates answered a survey about public transit.
