Transit Town Hall in North York this Monday evening

James Pasternak, Toronto City Councillor for Ward 10 (North York, north of the 401 between approximately Dufferin & Bathurst) will be hosting a Transit Town Hall this coming Monday, October 21 from 7-9 pm. The TTC Chair, Councillor Karen Stintz, has been invited to speak at the event. The details are available here.

According to the councillor's website, the event will include topics that are relevant to riders today, such as bus service and wheel trans. We need citizens who actually use the TTC today in attendance; this will ensure that the issues we experience daily are not overshadowed by a limited discussion on subway expansion that may, or may not, happen in a distant future.

The event will be held mere meters away from the Finch/Bathurst station of the Finch West LRT as designed in the original Transit City proposal (if it were ever built). Monday, however, riders can access the event using the #7 or #36 bus lines.

📸 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.
