Honestly, what are we doing in this city? Increased use of public transit is our biggest local lever to combat climate change. We need to increase funding to allow for more frequent service. This new budget is a step backwards and will put more cars on the road.
NEW: Service cuts, up to 10 minute subway waits proposed in TTC budget
The
#TTC
budget released yesterday proposes running 9% less service in 2023 than pre-pandemic levels, a fare increase for youth & adults, and allowing for more crowded vehicles

Representation matters! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

She is the first Black person and the first Indian person to be selected as a running mate for a major party candidate.
