TheStar profiles the contenders: Who will be the next TTC chair?
I like this idea a lot. I'd even go further: The TTC chair should be completely separate from the Mayor and not sit on council. They shouldn't be an appointee. I'd like to see the chair directly elected by Torontonians based on a platform campaigned on and then run the TTC with enough autonomy from the Mayor to prevent the bribing parts of the city for votes like Scarborough was for Ford or subways given as gifts like Sheppard was for Lastman.
He (Councillor Josh Colle) also thinks the transit chair is sufficiently important to warrant a public election and the TTC should be a mix of public and private members.
