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.

Letter & Survey: TTC must exchange expired tokens and tickets

Do you still have TTC tokens or paper senior/student tickets or day passes? The TTC has announced that they will stop accepting TTC tokens and paper tickets after December 31, 2024. But the TTC will not be issuing exchanges. This is unfair to people who have saved up tokens and tickets, especially low-income seniors. Gift cards and permanent stamps never expire --  why are transit fares any different?
