Toronto’s public transit system is publicly owned, controlled and run. Let's keep it that way.

At our last Campaigns Committee meeting, we voted to endorse Keep Transit Public, a transit worker led campaign designed to promote better transit service to citizens and maintain sustainable, living-wage paying jobs in Toronto. This endorsement is in line with a core value that Toronto’s public transit system must remain publicly owned, controlled and run. Transit that is built and run publicly is usually cheaper, more likely to provide good service across the city, and is more accountable to riders. The TTC is already the most efficient in North America.

📸 Rally to Open the Crosstown

On February 19, 2025, TTCriders held the Rally to Open the Crosstown at Yonge and Eglinton to call for answers about the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRT projects. Promised opening dates for the LRTs have come and gone, while transit costs have skyrocketed under Metrolinx. Transit riders are looking for answers and credible opening dates for the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs.
TTCriders asked every party to invest in running TTC service and new LRTs with a 50% operating subsidy for local transit systems, and to give the TTC back control over running Toronto transit, to keep costs down and increase accountability.
