Mayor Olivia Chow is introducing fare capping for TTC riders in her upcoming budget. Instead of having to decide whether it makes sense to buy a monthly pass in advance, rides will automatically be free after 47 trips starting next Sept.

Except Budget 2025 proposes cutting funding from the Canada Public Transit Fund towards a more generalized fund, leaving less money on the table for important transit projects and state-of-good-repair 👎
This a step backwards for faster commutes and achieving our climate goals. Not good!

To build Canada strong, we’re building strong communities.
Budget 2025 invests more than $50 billion in new roads, transit, hospitals, colleges, and universities — to empower you with faster commutes, better services, and more opportunities.

$3 billion in annual federal transit funding is in trouble, thanks to Carney's Federal Budget cuts.
Slashing funding for public services like transit is not a way to build a "Strong Canada". Here's how you can take action right now before MPs vote on the budget ⬇️

If somehow the Ford gov reverses course on the speed cam ban, drivers will be left with significant concessions: they’ll know they can go 10 km/h over the limit when the cameras are operating, and as fast as they want on nights and weekends.

I would argue the reason only 10% strongly approve but most people "kinda approve" of @mayoroliviachow.ca is she doesn't have a key visible achievement you can point to the way you can easily with Montreal or Paris. #topoli
