Angry About The TTC Fare Hike?
Public Action
Against Transit Fare Hikes
1pm
City Hall
(Queen and Bay)
On November 17th, the Commission ignored community outrage, and instead voted for a TTC fare hike. For poor and working people in this city transit costs are already too high and often unaffordable. The TTC deficit should not be loaded on the backs of people who need transit. It should not be paid for by poor and working people and it should not be paid for by the workers who run the buses, streetcars. Public transit in this city should be federally funded and affordable and accessible to all! They created this crisis, they ran up these deficits and we refuse to pay for it.
