The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is investigating a video that appears to show a subway operator telling riders over the intercom to “call the mayor’s office” after a train was pulled out of service.
In an interview with CP24 on Wednesday, TTC CEO Rick Leary wouldn’t say whether or not he felt the system was safe for workers and riders.
“We’re talking with our customers, we’re talking with our employees about what we can do to make it safer and taking immediate action in some cases and then more longer-term actions in the other.” Following the December meeting, the TTC said it was adding more special constables to the system and increasing the visibility of TPS officers at stations. The 2023 proposed operating budget, which includes a $53M subsidy increase from the city, also proposes the creation of 25 additional special constable positions.
