Eglinton Crosstown will begin its revenue service demonstration this week, hot on the heels of Finch West. If no major issues are found, both lines could be in service before the end of the year.

Today, the Province of Ontario approved, with modifications, 120 Major Transit Station Areas and Protected Major Transit Station Areas in #Toronto. The decision increases building heights and densities near transit and supports more housing options for these areas.

Yesterday, the new Federal Housing Minister @gregorrobertson.bsky.social said we don't need lower home prices.
Under this housing crisis, we respectfully but urgently disagree- we need to build more homes for lower prices.

???? $5 is double the VTA single ride fare. VTA is choosing to pay that to a private company that impedes transit ridership uptake instead of paying its workers more? And btw $5 is not enough to cover half of most trips. My bus commute is ~7mi and costs $10+ in Uber
To help ease the loss of transit service, VTA is offering riders Uber vouchers of up to $5 for each ride with a maximum of 2 rides per day. Rides must begin and end at a VTA bus or light rail stop, and must be ordered on Uber’s mobile app. Redeem your voucher at
