In my opinion: TTC one of the worst transit all around. I’ve been travel a lot, would not say every country, but 15 major cities for sure. First of all TTC subway is the smallest one, simply 2 lanes. If we will compare with N.Y. or London UK subways., I think is 50 or more times smaller. So been living in N.Y.C for 5 months I took a train every day to get to my job and back. So the question, how many times I’ve been late because of the service problem? 2 times: once for 20 min, another day something major broke should wait for around 45 min.
London UK for 3 months period, again only subway transpiration every day. Stuck once because of suicide on tracks- 45 min….
Toronto- city where I live…….. every day subway user. Just last 2 weeks period?????? 4 TIMES. Maintenance service, Always late, mornings-always full, lovely weekend——- no service, shuttle buses. Sunday blue night— never on schedule on empty roads!!!!!!
what would I say????? FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC, FUCK TTC.
FIRE. THEM. ALL?????? Yes agree, and hire 50% less, but young enthusiastic people who willing to work fast and professionally. It should be a simple rule there- if you work bad, slow or people complaint about your slow lazy ass, fired next day, another 100 persons waiting for this position.
But for now———- FUCK TTC.

Its way to unfortunate that torontonians, and other cities, rely so heavily on public transit. So no matter what the customers complain about, the transit workers win, because they always have the “hey, want us to stop working? Fine, see what you’ll do without us” card. Its complete corruption.
I heard that a ttc bus driver got the crap beaten out of him the day after the recent strike. I don’t see why the ttc worker was suprised. Hell, he just heavily inconvenienced a million people for a couple days, and costed millions of dollars in revenue for other companies, and perhaps made negative impacts to greater concerns.

So ttc workers, don’t be a child and “half poke” the public and claim “i’m not touching you! i’m not touching you!” and then cry when the public gets angry.

Toronto made sure it cannot get access to the federal anti-recession package. So instead of getting funds, the city will be giving funds to an area far away from Toronto from 2011 to 2018 for the streetcars. And tying up funds from Ontario that could be earmarked for Toronto then.

Thankfully Toronto did not need any work done on roads, day care centers, sewers and bridges or anything like that. And in fact the city did not even seem to want to get their very expensive and much balloho’d streetcars.Karen Stintz, a Toronto Councillor said: “If this were the one project we wanted to fund, it would have been important to speak to the minister in advance to ensure that this was the right project. It certainly appears that that didn’t happen, which is unfortunate.”

How does this make sense?. There is more than a billion dollar project which won’t help Toronto for the next few years. The way it’s paid for is with a special fund for projects to boost manufacturing now. Oh yeah, that fund is added straight to the national debt.

Fed Largess Minister John Baird tells Miller to f off, Miller capitalises and it happens and streetcars worth $1.2 billion are bought. I love it when rules aren’t followed at all.

Thank goodness Toronto didn’t need any work done on parks, bridges, sewers and roads or anything else that could help the unemployed and help the city right now.

that video is misleading us to assume that the ttc union
is the same entity as toronto’s transit system .
the city’s people have the right to mass protest/vote to force privatization , so we are rid of the lazy parasites who hold us for ransom .
i would love to see our horribly slow streetcars scrapped and replaced with electric buses . then we could be rid of tracks on our streets and the traffic congestion reduced .maybe this could free up enough money for more subway lines.
-what city with a subway system has no line connected to its international airport?

Crazy thing is the total lack of services.

We’ve had strikes for public transit services here. What generally happens is that *hardly any* buses or trains run, but people aren’t left stranded, because the unions know that enraging the population isn’t actually going to help their case…
