@JasonParis @frankscarpitti I agree w/ Markham's Mayor (both as former 26yr resident of York Region: Markham & Vaughan & #TTC CMO): The Yonge North extension should have been the first subway extension, not the #TYSSE, currently up & running w/ 1.2m rides/YEAR forecast—way, way less than subway capacity 1/
@JasonParis @frankscarpitti 2/ #TYSSE to FinMin Greg Sorbara's riding was approved by Premier Dalton McGuinty, as a thank you to Mr. Sorbara for his support winning Liberal leadership, election/re-election majorities & his family's deep involvement w/ @YorkUniversity (his brother was Chair). #TOpoli #ONpoli
@JasonParis @frankscarpitti @yorkuniversity 3/ I know from being #TTC ex-CMO and an engaged citizen, the TTC actively thwarted any YUS 🚇 extension to Toronto/YorkRegion Steeles boundary; or extending B/D 🚇 to Sherway Gardens even tho it's in Etobicoke. Its 2001 RTEP study #1 Priority—Sheppard 🚇 subway extension to STC.
@bradTTC @CityNews @TorontosMayor @JohnTory Great, thanks, Brad! I was unaware CEO Report was still being published, and, will publicize it to #TOpoli! CORRECTION: Mayor has withheld #SMARTtrack sky-high OpExp/ride from Council & delayed release of #SSE 30% CAPEX until after election.
@bradTTC @CityNews @TorontosMayor @JohnTory #TTC Sep.2018 CEO Report: ttc.ca/PDF/About_the_…: continued unprecedented -3.1% YTD ride decline—despite a growing economy & jobs in GTA. It is alarming that Metropass decline accelerated to 40% total rides, down 5pp from 45% in Jul.2018 CEO report & peak 52% (2014) #TOpoli 1/ 
@bradTTC @CityNews @TorontosMayor @JohnTory 2/ As a career consumer marketer & #TTC's ex-CMO, I'm alarmed by the lack of urgency in implementing its "Ridership Growth STRATEGY" and translating it into a detailed, multi-pronged, sophisticated 2018 "Ridership Growth 'Marketing' PLAN"—Metropass Mkt Res is 'underway'! #TOpoli
@keerthanarang @mbeckrubin @jen_keesmaat "Insufferable" is 20~ish hyper-partisan, political staffers weighing in on public transit issues…with little expert knowledge...on behalf of a Mayor whose #TTC track record is a new record: no-ride/rev growth in a growing economy! #BADtransitMayor #TOpoli—dropbox.com/s/fk17zr8e4ajl…
@keerthanarang @mbeckrubin @jen_keesmaat "Only @JohnTory could" says a Staffer…
❌Brings people together...as long as they're sycophants—not radicals
❌Hires an an angry, alcoholic, alt-right, divisive, white supremacist hate-speech-spewing, unhappy hater NicK as his campaign strategist… shaming his once proud name!

To ensure the best service possible in the morning, we are storing subway trains in tunnels to ensure doors are not frozen at start of service tomorrow. Throughout the evening, storm trains will operate in the open cut areas to keep the third rail clear of ice. #TTC
The streetcar network remains chief concern with weather still unknown at this time. The plan for the morning is to continue to run buses on St Clair in place of streetcars, unless temperatures rise as forecast, as well as shoulders of Queen as we did this weekend.
This allows us to run streetcars with greater frequency in the core, which helps keep switches and the overhead clear of ice. TTC staff are at the City’s Emergency Operations Centre. Priority plowing and salting is being given to hills where bus service is most vulnerable.
