Ridership is stagnating. Fare hikes are coming. Service could be cut.
The TTC is facing the worst budget crisis it's seen in decades. Our transit system needs $184 million just to maintain current service levels for next year, and City Hall is forcing the TTC to but their budget by another 2.6%.
Did your councillor vote to cut the TTC's budget? Find out here.
Our transit crisis is entirely the fault of the Wynne Government, Mayor Tory, and our elected officials at City Hall refusing to fairly fund the TTC. They are ignoring the needs of riders. We must stop the race to the bottom to a crappy unreliable transit system that riders cannot afford to use. We say no. You have a right to fast, frequent and affordable transit.
Let's take action.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto — Transit riders gathered this morning at Dufferin Subway Station alongside TTCriders, the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA), and Environmental Defence Canada (EDC) to call on Toronto City Council to implement long-promised dedicated transit lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst streets.
The TTC is considering opening a physical merchandise store in an attempt to bring in non-fare revenue.
A plan proposed by TTC staff to go ahead with funding a pilot project that would have seen platform-edge safety doors installed at TMU (Dundas) station has been put on hold pending further discussion by board members.
