Denzil Minnan-Wong has been a TTC commissioner since Demember 13, 2018. He is also Deputy Mayor of Toronto. His reputation shows how gun-ho about public transit, cycling, and pedestrians... not.

Note to add to the above.........
We know an announcement about regional fare integration of some kind is coming from the province in the not too distant future..........
I wonder if that might coincide w/this TTC report...........

On Friday, I noticed TTC has no 3rd trail track in place on the east end like the west end. Was expecting to see it up to where a switch will have to be cut into the westbound track. The switch cut in will most likely cause a weekend shut down in early 2022.

When did TTC get an BRT system as I had to laugh reading this article??
I also sent a note that they need to get their facts right as we are NA, not South America or Mexico where triple articulated buses are legal as well in Europe. Did say TTC had express buses, not BRT.
BRT have their place vs LRT.
I asked why does it cost more to built LRT and Subways in NA vs the World. Lets see if I get a response.

A cheaper, flexible public transit option

Probably refers to VIVA or MiWay.
I agree, the article glosses over many aspects of the BRT/LRT debate.

TTC CEO Rick Leary contract is up in Feb and will he see it renew or calls for a new CEO?? There been some talks that Rick Leary contract will not be renew and will stay on until a new one is found or he leaves.
He has a poor track record as well increasing upper manage 3 levels in place of one under Andy.
Even though station managers remain the same, the number of staff under them has triple to the point complaints are being made how dirty stations are now.
