The Ontario government's Pan-Am Games transit plan isn't enough for the vast majority of Torontonians

CP24 asked TTCriders to comment on the latest announcement by the Ontario Government on its plans to alleviate traffic during the PAN AM Games.

Watch the clip.

We question whether asking 20% of drivers to stay at home or take the TTC is adequate, given that the TTC is at breaking point already.

We also have noticed the TTC will only increase service to the airport and to routes to sports destinations, but that doesn't help the vast vast majority of Torontonians who just want to use transit to go about their daily lives and use other transit routes. Read the TTC's approved plan here.

We're really disappointed by the Union Pearson express which is too expensive and the trains are too small to be a good service to Torontonians.

And what about transit service after the PAN AM Games?  Can we please have all levels of government step up please and fairly fund the TTC.

📸 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.
