Scarborough #TTC riders face 7 years on the bus because transit has been politicized over the last decade.
The City shouldn't pay the price for those delays. The Province should help cover the extra $110-270 million to replace SRT service until a subway's built. #topoli
We’ll need to run one bus every minute to replace the SRT at peak times. To respect transit riders' time we need to look at adding more bus priority lanes, signal priority and new routes and keep buses moving. With the SRT slated to close in 2021, this work needs to start now.
The Fair Pass program makes the TTC more equitable and accessible. We’re working to integrate the program with PRESTO to make it easier for folks to sign up and working with intergovernmental partners to further improve access for those who need it most.
We’re doing what we can to minimize the impacts on commuters from the SRT decision and make the TTC more equitable, but intergovernmental support is critical. Federal announcement today is a big step in the right direction and I hope we can count on the Province to do the same.
