Starting this weekend, windows on #TTC buses will be open when the vehicles go into service. Yes, it may be cooler on board, but on the smaller vehicles, air circulation/ventilation is key. Bundle up, mask up, stay home if sick, be kind to each other and stay safe out there.

A #TTC Line 2 train was vandalized with vile anti-Black racist graffiti in a clear hate crime today. Train was taken out of service when it was found. No cams on this car but we have witnesses and suspect descriptions that will be fully investigated because #BlackLivesMattter

The #TTC and @torontopolice have teamed up to create six Events Support buses that start rolling out at this weekend's Remembrance Day ceremonies. They're surplus buses driven by TTC constables. They'll enhance public safety at city events and be used in training exercises.

The @TorontoStar nails it today with their look at the tragic Yonge Street van attack a year on. This is how you do journalism in the online age. Great reporting, engaging/interactive design. Includes a nod to the actions of some #TTC special constables.

The #TTC is changing policies. Also lending support to important City efforts to combat the spread of #COVID19 among our most vulnerable. It's a dynamic and evolving issue and we constantly assess our response in consultation with public health experts.

After two full test days, with consultants helping, Queen deemed safe for #TTC streetcars. All sheduled lowfloors and bonus CLRVs out this a.m. Track work in a few spots early in the week likely resolved the cause & nothing new found. Crews making good progress on damaged cars.

As #TTC ridership increases (and COVID-19 cases in the province rise), face coverings will be mandatory for our employees on the job and on property starting tomorrow. One more step we're taking to keep operations as safe as possible for customers and staff.
