Toronto has a transit crisis. Riders are sardined into overcrowded buses, street cars, and subways, and traffic congestion is a major problem. We all agree we need more public transit.
So why does the Wynne Government and provincial transit agency, Metrolinx, want to turn the new Union Station to Pearson Airport train line into a service for the 1%?
The 23 km long line will only have two stops between the terminals, even though the line travels through some of Canada's most densely populated areas, including Liberty Village. It could also cost up to $20 to $30 to travel one way. That's highway robbery. The Union-Pearson train line must be an affordable, clean, public train line for all.
Our coalition is calling for Metrolinx and the Province to:We’ve asked candidates whether they’ll invest in more TTC service, protect door-to-door Wheel-Trans service, expand TTC’s low-income discount, approve fare capping and more. View candidates’ detailed answers to our survey, information about their transit platforms, and more.
Do you still have TTC tokens or paper senior/student tickets or day passes? The TTC has announced that they will stop accepting TTC tokens and paper tickets after December 31, 2024. But the TTC will not be issuing exchanges. This is unfair to people who have saved up tokens and tickets, especially low-income seniors. Gift cards and permanent stamps never expire -- why are transit fares any different?
(Toronto, ON) – Transit advocacy organization TTCriders will hold a rally today at 5:00pm outside Bathurst Subway Station to call on federal Members of Parliament to invest in TTC repairs and new subway trains on Line 2 by accelerating implementation of the Canada Public Transit Fund.
