Frequent transit service and affordable fares are needed to increase ridership and meet our climate goals. That’s why TTCriders wants to fix the transit funding model and win stable transit operations funding from all levels of government.
Transit Commission Approved Misguided Service Cuts
At their special budget meeting this morning, the Transit Commission ignored the pleas of transit riders and approved an Operating Budget that will reduce TTC service throughout the city in 2012.
At a time of record ridership, it is even more of a major step backward to reduce TTC service. The budget adopted by the Commission means riders can look forward to even more crowding on TTC vehicles, reductions in the frequency of buses, and less transit vehicles operating during rush hour on some of the TTC’s busiest routes.
