“I feel like a sardine on this street car.”
“The TTC is too expensive.”
“Sorry, I’m late for work again because all the street cars were full and I couldn’t get on.”

Toronto has spent years dealing with the consequences of underfunded public transit. Aging infrastructure, delayed repairs and subway slow zones have all placed pressure on a system that millions of Torontonians rely on. These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
