Tell your elected official to say yes to 10-minutes-or-better TTC service and two hour transfers

“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.”

This is how Torontonians talk about public transit.

But we have the chance to change that right now.

Right now, Toronto is voting to improve transit and make fares more affordable. Specific immprovements include:

More bus and street car service so all routes have 10-minutes-or-better service
More express buses
More night time service
Two hour transfer fares, so one fare will allow you to use the TTC for two hours. Ever rider out there wants to be able to get off the TTC, buy food at the supermarket, and get on the bus again without paying twice.

The motion is being voted on today at the TTC Commission. If approved, it will then move to a City Council meeting to identify funding.

It’s super important we tell the TTC Commission and the City and the Province to vote, approve and fund these important recommendations as soon as possible so we can get the public transit we need and deserve.

The reason why it is important to have City Council vote on this now is that we need to know where our elected officials stand on improving service for Torontonians.

Tell the City and the Province to say yes to more service and lower fares. Call 311 to talk to your City Councillor. Your MPP can be found here.
