The cost of the last-minute deal that averted a chaotic strike by the largest union in Toronto’s public transit system is $176 million over three years, according to newly released city records.

The agreement came in the midst of transit ffunding negotiations with other levels of government, including a provincial pledge to provide support for transit as ridership recovers from the pandemic, he said. The deal came in the wake of a court decision last year that overturned legislation from 2011 under a previous Liberal government that make the TTC an essential service and banned workers from walking off the job.
The employer agreed to not contract out bus, streetcar or subway operators for the life of the deal. It also agreed to only implement four cross-border routes from other jurisdictions, but didn’t say which ones. A new “operator pool” of 130 positions will allow customer service agents to be pulled into operator positions as the needs of the system change.
