As it so unexpectedly does every year in Toronto, it has snowed. I'm expecting TTC delays that'll make the morning/evening commute a nightmare.

@mayoroliviachow.ca - what will you do?

@mayoroliviachow.ca once again, waiting 30 minutes for a bus at Lansdowne near Queen and another 45 minutes to transfer to the Subway at 5:30 on a Tuesday seems unreasonable.

Kindly provide me with the billing department so that I can get compensated for the Uber.

TTC streetcars are the slowest of 17 systems across three continents, according to an Australian study, averaging 10.8km/h. Utrecht averages 27.5km/h.

Walking averages are approximately 4.5km/h.

Please fix this.

King/Dufferin service interruption is apparently not being clearly communicated to drivers of the 929. They are driving past the relocated stop at Dufferin and Alma leaving passengers stranded

“The streetcar in particular is not doing very well right now. Streetcars only arrive on time 57 per cent of the time, which is wild. So, streetcar transit riders in particular have, I’m sure, little confidence in the system.”

@mayoroliviachow.ca what's the plan?

Why wasn't this work coordinated with the 2+ year closure of King at Roncesvalles?!

People would be much healthier if they spent at least an hour walking per day.

Neighborhoods should be designed to accommodate that.

Please please please take over management of TTC. The city cannot function doing what it has been doing for the past 40 years.

This is public transit in Toronto. 61 minutes on a Monday morning, zero communication on why.
September 8, 2025 at 11:50 AM
@mayoroliviachow.ca again - 504 west is short-turning at Bathurst rather than providing the service we've paid for.
September 2, 2025 at 7:30 PM
@mayoroliviachow.bsky.social

Why is there yet another disruption of service on the 501 Queen route?
