No because how do I get this job?
Staff in subway stations also affects fare collection and safety. Maybe the start of a reverse trend over multiple industries including transit. cbc.ca/news/business/…
Public transport and cycling are complementary modes of transport. They reinforce each other and together offer people a very attractive and sustainable alternative to driving. In Stuttgart 🇩🇪 they understand! 📽 by @ConstantinVer

According to @USDOT, the annual cost of car ownership rose 44% from 2017 to 2023 (inflation-adjusted). Hard to see how this is sustainable, either for carmakers or for Americans. bts.gov/content/averag…

The NYPD is using “Barnacles” to combat illegal parking. They are commercial-grade suction cups that latch onto the glass with 1,000 pounds of force, making forcible removal next to impossible.
When you think your city’s needs a highway diet, it could be worse. Dubai has undergone a remarkable transformation, but despite investments in public transit is stuck in a car oriented mentality that holds it back from being a truly great city.
There is a serious state-of-good-repair problem at #TTC. It is being ignored. That is a serious problem. In 1995 the Russell Hill accident was a result of ignoring warning signs about poor maintenance. 3 people died. @SwanBoatSteve explains it well stevemunro.ca/2024/03/10/the…
@rocketoperator @Adam_Giambrone It would have been Tory -- give the impression we can provide service, freeze fares and keep taxes down. There's also the outsourcing. I am not sure that Chow is onto this shell game yet.
Owning a car in Toronto costs over 50% more than in 2019: nowtoronto.com/lifestyle/owni…
“TTC’s auditors found that in 2023, fare evasion was ~12% and cost the TTC close to $124 million.” Yes a problem, but the calculation likely assumes all evaded fares would have been paid in a 100% secured system. This is isn’t the case. Poverty and mental health are big factors.
Today is a very special day! It’s Transit Operator and Worker Appreciation Day! ❤️ Take a moment to thank the dedicated transit workers and operators in your community that keep Toronto moving, every day! 👏
And this is why elections are generally not won on policy!
Improving service is important…but state-of-good-repair needs more investment and must be the first priority!

I find @SwanBoatSteve has a way of simply explaining sometimes arcane #TTC reports. Here he explains why subway service is “officially” fine, while riders often find themselves crowded onto overpacked trains due to poorly managed irregular service.
@SwanBoatSteve focuses on a key point: "If the SRT derailment and the near catastrophe in the subway with the broken switch … says anything, it says that day-to-day inspection and maintenance is not being done at a sufficiently high level." cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@Adam_Giambrone @CllrJamaalMyers And until the board with one loud voice demands better, one member can be made to look like a crank.
@Adam_Giambrone What is sad about this is that basic question like "how does this standard work" are never asked, and management gets a pat on the back for a job well done. Riders complain but are fobbed off with meaningless charts. TTC board members are not doing their job of oversight. (1/2)

(2/2) This is not just an issue for the SRT but for maintenance generally including the subway where a very large number of slow orders are the response to poor track conditions. Will the TTC Board demand answers? stevemunro.ca/2024/02/21/the…
After the SRT derailment, it took several months for the TTC to post technical reviews of the event, and they were hidden away, unannounced on their site. I filed an FOI request for track inspection reports, but the response raises many questions. (1/2)

Thank you to @Thompson_37, @CllrJamaalMyers and @cllrainslie for joining me today at Scarborough Centre station to announce the full funding for the Scarborough busway in this year's budget. We can get our city back on track. Starting right here in Scarborough.
🧵@MayorOliviaChow's Budget addresses the most pressing needs facing residents across the city. It protects services, makes critical investments in affordable housing, transit, and community safety, and gets our city back on track.
