"Everyone needs access to cell service on the TTC, not just 911 service, but access to texting because it's about safety and also about navigating the system, getting real time updates if there's a security incident or just a delay," says TTCriders spokesperson Shelagh Pizey-Allen.
Cell service is coming across the TTC subway, but not all riders may be able to access it! A consortium of 10 civil society organizations, including TTCriders, a group that represents the subway system’s riders, is calling on the CRTC to ensure that Rogers does not delay access for other carriers.
The Toronto Region Board of Trade recently gave the TTC a 'B' grade for reliability. TTCriders calls for a reversal of service cuts and more transit-only priority lanes for buses and streetcars to improve reliability across the TTC.
