The TTC set a new pandemic record for overall ridership last month as customers returned to the system in droves following the lifting of many public health restrictions.

that will go before the TTC board today reveals that there were a total of 1.69 million rides taken on the TTC during the week ending April 1.

“With the sixth wave of the pandemic and the winding down of postsecondary classes, ridership growth flattened temporarily in April. However, commuter return-to-office is increasing, with downtown office occupancy expected to reach 30 per cent by the end of May. This, coupled with special events returning to the city, should boost transit demand as the summer approaches,” TTC CEO Rick Leary said in the report.

Since then ridership has been gradually increasing, though it did briefly drop in January following the detection of the Omicron variant.

I was on the subway train a few months ago in the middle of the day. There were so many homeless people in the train, that it was beyond belief. Men use the seats as their beds during the morning commute too. The homeless ride all day long on the TTC. Watch what you touch.

And yet they still refuse to hire back the drivers they terminated in January? Good job ttc

Has nothing to do with gas prices being high AF

AND TTC sets the record for NOT enforcing passengers to wear their masks for MONTHS now... Sadly, Toronto's Covid cases will stay high because of the LACK OF EFFORT by TTC EMPLOYEES!

In the last little while. It seems the TTC has also set records for violence within their system or on their property.

We still in a pandemic?

TTC = take the car

Stop wearing masks on TTC

Half of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 still experiencing at least one symptom two years later: studyHalf of those hospitalized with COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic are still experiencing at least one symptom two years later, a new study suggests. 'January 2020 and late May 2020' In other words, they had the Wuhan and Alpha strains. The implication in this article is that it happens for all strains. That's very dishonest. Wait until you find out long covid is a result of the spike protein in the vaccine. Its actually half of people infected? so making it seem like only hospitalized people have an issue going forward?

Ontario leaders spar over COVID, affordability and climate crisisAs Ontarians head to the polls June 2, the four major party leaders squared off Monday night for a raucous 90-minute leaders' debate about where the province has been — and where it is headed. Too many prescribed lines though Honestly I hope someone gets in and screws the whole province over beyond repair, I give up! LOL 😆 Less than 5% of Ontarians voted for the Green party in 2018 and they have 1 elected MPP. Libertarians are next at just under 1% and then 'None of the Above' at .25%. The Green party is more appropriately a major-of-the-minor-parties.
