On Saturday, May 7, 2022, 150 people rallied outside the Scarborough Civic Centre for better transit in Scarborough. With the Scarborough RT closing in 2023, transit users are calling for:
- stable transit operations funding for more bus service
- funding for free GO-TTC transfers, to unlock access to GO transit in Scarborough
- funding to extend the Eglinton East LRT to Malvern
- more bus lanes and transit priority

Toronto City Councillors on the TTC Board will vote April 14th, 2022 on how to replace the Scarborough RT when it closes in 2023. TTCriders supports the plan to transform the RT corridor into a busway, because it’s the fastest and most reliable replacement option and there is strong community support. But during the 2 years it takes to build the busway, transit priority measures like bus lanes are needed so the additional 70 buses per hour during peak periods don't get stuck in traffic.
