The TTC is taking Toronto for a walk. Let's stop them.
You may have already heard: The TTC got rid of WiFi at all stations on December 27th, 2024. They did it without meaningful consultation with the public, let alone with any of you.
Thank you to everyone who has promoted this petition and to grassroots group TTCriders, who share my mission of a subway that simply delivers a basic quality of service for all of us. This doesn't have to end here.
Still annoyed and want to email? Let's do it together.

Body:
Dear Board Members,
We are students, professionals, retirees, renters, owners, Torontonians: Fare-payers.
Our money should be put to good use, not funneled into contracts that don't complete or endless track repairs that drag out commute times and leave the job half-finished.
The TTC claimed that upgrades to keep WiFi functional would cost a paltry $17 million of a $2.5 billion budget, and so they axed the current set up. Nevermind that that figure came directly from Rogers without explanation.
Let's get reconnected, and this time invest enough to run a reliable, effective WiFi service for Torontonian commuters who just need to be safe but don't always have a data plan.
Because if the solution to a failing service is to cancel it, we might as well shut down the TTC.
