Hello Folks, I am a TTC Employee completing 8 Yrs. of service. I arrived in this city back in 1975. At that time the city's transit system was an envy for the rest of the world's cities. Today in the 21st century, we are the laughing stock of the entire world, simply because the governments stopped funding the system decade ago. Despite the lack of funds and wrong decisions, the TTC has provided service far superior and with the least amount of fares for the riders for decades than many other world class cities. It is now imperative that the newly elected mayor understands the pathetic problems of TTC and act accordingly. We do not need subways, what we do need is a city full of LRT, covering the city's remote areas. Also, we don't need private shareholders. This will compound the problems already at hand and will create another overhead. i.e. shareholders profits. As for the love and hate of the riders and the TTC, employees, it is the duty of the big medias to teach the public from the perspective of TTC employees. The public and the medias are totally ignorant when it comes to the actual day-to-day duties of the front line TTC employees.
