TTCriders' Adam Cohoon speaks with Global News about the "degrading" process of having to re-register for Wheel-Trans services. “It’s like we’re filling out a job application,”. "We’re trying to — in this weird, sick way — [put] our worst foot forward.”
TTCriders' Shelagh Pizey-Allen speaks with CP24 regarding safety concerns on the TTC. She states "There really needs to be the right kind of staff within the TTC who are peer-led and trained in de-escalation to respond to people who are having a crisis.”
With TTC service cuts now in effect, riders will be feeling the impacts of these changes in their daily commutes. Monica Mason from TTCriders states these cuts will largely impact marginalized, lower-income communities in Toronto who rely on transit heavily. She states that these current cuts will only lead to decreased ridership, resulting in more cuts and will also impact how safe riders feel on their commute with increased wait times.
The 23 year-old man who slashed the neck of a stranger at St. George Station in 2022 has been sentenced to 18-months in prison, with this decision shedding light on his troubled past–struggling with a crystal meth addiction and mental health problems. This violent attack was unprovoked, leaving many members of the public to worry about their safety during their commute. However, this ruling is evident that safety issues on the TTC has less to do with the transit system itself and rather the systems outside. 
After Scarborough residents voiced their need for a reliable transit replacement once the SRT is permanently shut down, Scarborough councillors have pledged their support for a replacement busway. While the off-street, dedicated busway was approved by the TTC in April 2022, it was subject to funding and left unsettled who would pay for the costs. However, it was announced that TTC CEO Rick Leary pledged to cover design costs out of the commission's budget.
With the Scarborough RT shutting down permanently by the end of 2023, it's temporary replacement–a dedicated off-street busway lacks crucial funding. Scarborough transit riders feel left behind and frustrated, losing their most reliable method of public transit that will ultimately be replaced in at least seven years by a three stop subway extension of Line 2.

Transit advocates call for more transparency and a stop to service cuts
TTCriders calls for funding and design work to continue on SRT busway.
In Scarborough, the TTC is allegedly getting ready to disappoint residents once more, as it retires the obsolescent SRT with the promised subway no closer to being opened; a busway originally billed as an economical stopgap has been quietly removed from the city’s plans, according to advocates at TTCRiders
