Any update @ttcriders.bsky.social @moretransitso.bsky.social on this. The Mayor @mayoroliviachow.ca and Councillor @joshmatlow.bsky.social requested a report on this later in 2025. It is a priority that proper full active TSP is on given on Line 5 & 6 so the billions wasn’t wasted on slower trips.

We were at Toronto and East York Community Council speaking in favour of transit priority measures on the Dundas streetcar line! These measure included parking/stopping/left turn restrictions. Not quite priority dedicated lanes but baby steps! We’ll take what we can get.

It's finally happening! We can't wait for the red paint to reach Bloor. And we'll keep fighting until it gets to Wilson.
Special thanks to the thousands of transit riders who wrote in, spoke up, or knocked doors with us this summer to make bus lanes on Dufferin happen!

We’re very concerned to hear about this incident at Dundas Station and are thinking of the TTC employee and their loved ones. Hoping for a full recovery. Thank you to everyone responding and supporting riders and workers during a difficult day.

We commonly hear from riders that they don't feel safe waiting at poorly-lit transit stops at night - especially women & gender minorities.
Better lighting at transit stops & more frequent night service reduce the risk of uncomfortable & unsafe situations, keeping riders safe!

The Carney Government just passed a Federal Budget that cuts the Canada Public Transit Fund, as the TTC faces a $4.3B repair backlog & $232M operations shortfall.
The $3B fund will now be folded into a generalized infrastructure fund, leaving less money on the table for transit riders nationwide 👎

Congrats to Montréal where the next phase of their REM metro system opened today! Work started in 2017. Now 50-km of new transit is open for riders! 🎊
Meanwhile, a certain 19-km LRT in Toronto has been under construction since 2011 and there's no opening date in sight... 😤

We don’t need a privatized separate bus system working alongside the TTC.
Another story of on-demand transit (or "microtransit") hype. The cute and responsive technology works in a tiny rural town, so they propose to do it in the big city, where it will be overwhelmed. Big cities need big transit, not these distractions.
