TTC: Other Items (catch all)

Hold everything..............

For the most part, UT collectively holds TTC CEO Rick Leary in a certain measure of disdain.

I think, rightly so.

I raise this, because of something he said at Council this morning that is borderline hilarious, if only for being a near certain fabrication.

Wait, wait....hold on..........crime on the TTC is down since the service cuts went into affect on Sunday? Really? (Leary would have been briefed for discussing this item (TTC Safety) yesterday, meaning, in the unlikely event there are any actual post-service reduction stats to be had, they cover Sunday-Tuesday of this week only, LOL )

I don't think any one called BS on him on the floor of Council.......

I'd be in full support of using $1 million out of the $15 million council approved for TTC emergency funds to pay off this idiot of a CEO and get him the hell out of Toronto. I mean it's pretty much an emergency allowing this fool to still hold the keys to the TTC.

If only we can send off the commissioners themselves that easily too.

Oh good grief - the Coxwell platform in the middle of the afternoon?

There aren't many subway platforms in the city, that have so much TTC staff on them.

There were 3 incidents at the same time tonight. 4 if you count Keele.

Knife at Coxwell, Knife at Lansdowne and Knife at Dundas West. EA Activation at Keele.

I don't see those other 3 platforms being almost permanently staffed though, with a TTC office on the platform.

There was also a "hate-motivated" incident at Kennedy this morning.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

We need a Toronto version of the British Transport Police. A dedicated team of armed officers solely for the transit system.
 

Phase 1 through 5 deployed ATC using pre-existing switch and stop locations. There is a phase 6 which optimizes these things a bit, including shifting the Eglinton station stop locations a little north.

I assume that this is the start of Phase 6.
