You shouldn’t get lost while taking the TTC! Ask Toronto City Council to invest in upgrading signs and information across the TTC, including up-to-date schedule information on trip planning apps and the TTC website.
The TTC is creating a new "wayfinding" strategy, but it lacks funding. Wayfinding means the signage, information, and audio announcements that guide you through the transit system.
The front door of the TTC
Signs and information are the front door of the TTC. When thousands of international tourists visit for the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup, we want them to be taking public transit.
Easy-to-use TTC information and signs will not only benefit visitors to the city, but encourage all Toronto residents to take transit again in the future.
Principles for wayfinding
TTCriders volunteers have designed new signage that reflects the following principles:
- Improved streetcar signs with clearer information;
- Labelling exits so you know how to get out of the station to where you're going;
- Right information at the right decision point;
- Accessible information, so that no matter what language you speak and no matter what your abilities are, you are able to navigate the system.
King Station Makeover
Commuters at King Subway Station were treated to a station makeover by volunteers from transit advocacy organization TTCriders on April 11, 2025.
The posters are easy to remove, but riders hope that the helpful suggestions stick around:
