The TTC has implement service cuts on 39 transit routes which will disproportionately impact marginalized communities. Monica from TTCriders states that these service cuts will only lead to a decrease in ridership, ultimately resulting in more cuts and poor service and affirms that adequate funding is needed from the government. Concerns regarding safety on riders' commutes has also grown with increased waiting times.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Toronto — Transit riders gathered this morning at Dufferin Subway Station alongside TTCriders, the Toronto Environmental Alliance (TEA), and Environmental Defence Canada (EDC) to call on Toronto City Council to implement long-promised dedicated transit lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst streets.
The TTC is considering opening a physical merchandise store in an attempt to bring in non-fare revenue.
A plan proposed by TTC staff to go ahead with funding a pilot project that would have seen platform-edge safety doors installed at TMU (Dundas) station has been put on hold pending further discussion by board members.
