The Scarborough RT derailed in 2023. TTCriders has been campaigning to convert the RT corridor into a bus-only roadway, so replacement shuttle buses save up to 10 minutes in each direction.
With the impending widespread implementation of Presto on the TTC it is possible that there could be proposal to change the TTC fare structure from the current “single-ride within Toronto” arrangement.

Last evening I rode the 134C from Scarborough Town Centre to Centennial College for the mayoral debate. Although I suspect that I was one of the few debate participants who came by transit, the bendy buses going the other way were loaded to the doors with students.

Last Tuesday September 23rd, members of Scarborough Transit Action and CodeRedTO attended a transit talk at Agincourt Collegiate Institute. Also in attendance were Scarborough MPPs Bas Balkissoon, Soo Wong, Minister of Transportation, Steven Del Duca and Ward 38 council candidate, Kevin Winson . 
Today, TTCriders released its first ever report card evaluating the TTC’s performance from the perspective of TTC users.
The report card rates the TTC on how well it has done in achieving five goals important to TTC users which are key parts of TTCriders' Vision: creating fair and affordable fares; building modern, fast transit to all corners of the city as fast as possible; making public transit fully accessible transit; providing frequent service that connects all of Toronto; and environmental sustainability.
The President and Chief Executive Officer of Metrolinx, Bruce McCuaig, replied to our May 1st Letter regarding Metrolinx's Toronto Transit Expansion plans.
TTCriders were thrilled to hear back from Metrolinx so soon after we contacted them. In his May 9th letter Mr. McCuaig said there were several factors that have impacted the schedule (for the Sheppard East LRT) including:
With a 24 - 19 vote City Council approved the Sheppard Avenue East LRT line, the final piece of Toronto's Rapid Transit Expansion Plan.
The results of the special meeting are proof that TTCriders' voices were heard. By a 24 - 19 vote on motion placed by Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker, Council approved a plan to build a Light Rail Transit (LRT) line on Sheppard Avenue East.
At their Special Meeting on Wednesday City Council will decide on the future of rapid transit on Sheppard Avenue East. Council will be voting on how to add to our public transit network: Build Light Rail Transit on Sheppard Avenue East in the next 4 years OR Delay improving transit for decades while we wait for a dubious subway scheme.
TTCriders can now review the report from the City's Sheppard Transit Expert Advisory Panel available here.
This Panel was created by City Council at their Special Meeting on Transit Expansion on February 8th.
On Monday March 19th there will be another so called "Town Hall Meeting" on the Future of Toronto Transit. This one is hosted by a "Citizens group"called SAFE (Subways Are For Everyone) at 7:00 p.m. at the Scarborough Civic Centre (150 Borough Drive).
On March 21st 2012, City Council will vote on how long people in Scarborough will remain stuck on a bus. The choice couldn’t be simpler: a Light Rapid Transit line that is fully funded and can be finished in 4 years, or the promise of subways without a plan, without any money, which will guarantee that people will be stuck on crowded buses for decades to come.
