TTCriders is answering the call of students and youth who will be walking out of class on Friday September 27 to take action on the climate emergency. We need better transit now and lower fares as part of the transition to a green and fair economy. Our goal is to hand out 1000s of flyers to transit riders that ask people to join the #ClimateStrike mobilization on September 27th and to take action for better transit. TTCriders will also be marching as a contingent in the September 27th rally.
Toronto has spent years dealing with the consequences of underfunded public transit. Aging infrastructure, delayed repairs and subway slow zones have all placed pressure on a system that millions of Torontonians rely on. These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
