We just delivered a “fund evasion” ticket to Finance Minister @cafreeland It's time for MPs to stop evading their responsibility to fund the #TTC. Riders are asking federal MPs to chip in for new subway trains & speed up the Permanent Public Transit Fund. ttcriders.ca/fundevasion
Register for webinar Thurs April 25 (12-1pm) about direct correlation between vehicle front end height and pedestrian death. Huge pickup trucks and SUVs are disproportionately involved in crashes that kill and severely injure people outside of cars. Link: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Federal MPs have committed FUND EVASION! Take action with us this Thursday, April 25 at 7:45am as we hand out flyers to #TTC riders outside Spadina Station. Help riders tell our MPs to step up and invest in new subway trains and TTC service! RSVP: ttcriders.ca/fundevasion2024
always nice to pick up a free copy of @TheGrindTO from a subway station or community centre and see @ttcriders' hard work in print 🫡
"The #TTC is ready to accept bids. Mayor Chow has identified [new trains] as a priority. Provincial money is on the table. All that’s missing is a federal government that recognizes their role in making sure things don’t go off the rails." @GraphicMatt thestar.com/opinion/contri…

WE DID IT TRANSIT TWITTER
While the intention was to provide a faster option for people travelling between Union and Pearson, I’ve heard riders’ concerns about servicing Weston and Bloor stations along the UP Express line. I’ve directed Metrolinx to not proceed with these changes.
Minutes ago, the provincial government announced that Metrolinx will not be proceeding with their proposed changes to UP Express service—this is a win for our community. Thanks to all who spoke up. x.com/prabsarkaria/s…

It was great to be among disability community allies like @ttcriders and accessible transit champion, Mazin Aribi. Disabled residents deserve a TTC that works for them, too! #ToPoli #TransitEquity
We attended today’s #TTCWheeltrans consultation on its #FamilyofService program. After a long presentation by WT, many folks during Q & A, told stories of unsafe & inaccessible travel on conventional transit. Others challenged the rosy picture being painted by WT speakers.

But what if, like I do, you use the Bloor stop to get to the airport because you live closer to that stop than to Union?!?! I hate it here 🙃
"The move to reduce the popular stops at the Bloor station (at Dundas Street West) and the Weston station — which line up with TTC connections — from every 15 minutes to every half-hour was buried in other transit announcements Monday." thestar.com/news/gta/up-ex…
I don’t normally make posts like this, but felt I had to make this one given the circumstances. Today, at 5:15pm, I boarded an UP Express train at Bloor station, because it was the fastest way to get downtown for a baseball game. I now realize that what I did… 🧵
was very unfair to passengers coming from the airport, as I used their special airport train for my non airport related travel. I want to apologize and offer my praise to Metrolinx for the new UPX schedule, which will prevent nuisances like myself from taking up…
I just signed this petition! It's completely ridiculous for Bloor and Weston to lose half their fast rail service to Pearson and downtown Toronto. Metrolinx should reverse these cuts before the new schedule is implemented at the end of the month.
