TTCriders does Q&A with the TTC’s Chris Upfold

On October 25th, over 50 people braved the rain and attended our TTCriders meeting at the North York Civic Centre.  Here’s a summary of what went down.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Jamie Kirkpatrick from TEA gave a brief history of the TTCriders. The group was founded in Dec. 2009 in response to the proposed (and approved) TTC fare hike. Since then, the Riders have organized to stop the proposed bus cuts, advocated for the Transit City plan, and educated voters about mass transit during the 2010 city elections. Check out Jamie's presentation.
