If you commute from outside the city you're screwed if you can't work remotely if there's a strike. Driving into the downtown will be a nightmare with the Gardiner and a lot of the streets under construction.
$40 or more and hour to drive a bus or sit in a booth and watch people go by. TTC employees are like teachers. They are so far out of touch with reality they don't know how good they have things. Get back to work.
That might not be so bad in a smaller, more suburban town, but we're talking about a major city with 5 or 6 million people. Surely there has been or will be a time when you need to get somewhere you can't get to by walking or riding a bike. Imagine how long it'll take you if there's a ton more traffic.
In the not-too-distant future, students studying urban and traffic planning will look on Toronto as a prime example of what not to do. After all, sometimes the best one can do is be a bad example. Toronto has that title sewed up.
Same here. I am not making any plans for past midnight tomorrow night (12:01am on Friday June 7th 2024) without having to possibly cancel them because Toronto decides to be Toronto and screw everything up
@@joelsterling1445 This coming strike, should it occur, is likely to affect me more than any labour dispute, for quite some time, has. Getting to whatever medical appointments I am likely to, during the strike, need to get to will no doubt be a shorter walk, if I book the appointment for this Saturday or later, than if I book one for this Friday. Friday will be the last day of that clinic at its west-end Toronto location while Saturday will be its 1st at a location much closer to home. Getting to a massage appointment that for next week Wednesday I've scheduled likely will be harder should whatever TTC strike that may occur last that long. Perhaps before the 3rd Monday of June there will be a tentative deal so I can get to a dental appointment that for the Tuesday of that week more easily than if there's no TTC, bar Wheel-Trans, service. So be it if I have to change plans to walk very far out of the neighbourhood in which I live should whatever TTC strike that may occur.
@@wainber1 Same here as if I have to walk through Pearson Airport on foot in order to get to Woodbine Racetrack on Saturday June 8th 2024 (the day after the day the strike will start) from my area of Jane and Weston Road, then that's what I am going to do
@masahirogo3330 you make no sense , without ttc more people will use personal vehicles, this means more traffic, more congestion means more pollution. Can't wait for the highways to be busy with the extra drivers
What do you think the armies are doing...why not use their being to disembark people yo certain location...not only taxis which is too expensive for most...especially minimum earners...
If you don't use transit and think this strike wont affect you think twice, Goodluck with all that extra vehicles that will create more congestion and traffic. If now theres congestion just wait until all those extra passengers become drivers .
I haven’t used the subway nor very few buses since being treated very rudely 3 months ago by a TTC ticket booth mannequin, and by Security, whom I was trying to help locate a guy who had been screaming death threats at people in the station. He had snuck back upstairs and was standing a few metres from us, staring at us. They refused to look where I pointed. All they did was keep asking why I called them, no matter how many times they were told that it was the TTC guy who called for help, not me. He just stood there like a dummy and never once opened his mouth. While Security was harassing me and ignoring the crazy guy, he snuck back down to the platform. Security didn’t notice but soon trooped down down there themselves. I then asked Mr silent booth attendant why he hadn’t backed me up and pointed out the culprit to them. He shouted at me: “I did! Go on about your business, Madam!” I was shocked. I was going to be late for the film I was going to so I headed down the elevator towards the platform. There was the crazy guy coming back up the stairs! When he saw me he started yelling that he was going to kill me. Not only is transit full of crazy dangerous people now, but you can’t rely on staff to protect you, and on top of that they are rude and hostile to you as if you were the criminal. Horrible experience. Added to the constant shutdowns and rerouting, the TTC is a total nightmare. I feel so sorry for people who have to use it every day.
@mashirogo3330 I don’t want the TTC go on strike because it’s going take a long time to travel to get to our destinations and besides it’s going get freaking expensive to take taxis and Ubers and because traffic not going help and if they go on Strike then people would have leave ealry to get to work on time because of Traffic and of the Strike it’s self
Me either as if they strike, I will have to get up by like 7am or 8am in the morning on Saturday June 8th 2024 just so I can walk to Woodbine Racetrack (Queen's Plate Drive and Rexdale Blvd area is where the racetrack is) from my area of Jane and Weston Rd
Thank god The TTC has been preparing us for a strike for years with their unreliable service for years
I totally agreed
Thank management
You and all the people that liked your comments are npc's. Better service starts with management not operators.

Maybe bc ttc is majorly underfunded and theres literally no solution except funding the ttc better

Maybe people will finally see this city for what it is, an expensive, outdated, inefficient mess.
I already know that
@@tamara_diamonds422 not everyone!
Come on Toronto get it together how are all your criminals and shooters and car thieves going to get to work
I’m trying to be funny. You sound utterly stupid
Ain’t no way. I am taking Uber. The company would have to pay for my Uber

Just scrap the service all together. Let people figure it out
Well if a strike happen that's the perfect time to find out what happens of it gets scrap

Barring medical appointments I plan to limit, as much as possible, non-essential travel during whatever TTC strike may be.

Please go on strike
Why do you want TTC go on strike
Because it’s their right. They are being mistreated by management
Nah what
@@BakariTheBat better air quality

Strike or not - they'll never be on time!!

They would reach a deal at last minute

Plenty of rental bikes 🤷♂🤣
You know what, I don’t care what anybody wants. Goodbye
Enjoy friday city slickers
Once again remote workers win *sips tea*
I just walk, it's pretty cool, 25 minutes for every 2km.
People possibly will have to sleep at work or take a hotel downtown as I think 99.9% there will be a strike in my view.
Incompetent Unions
How come no one asked about what they'd do starts with "Well, first, I'll support the workers striking". What happened to class solidarity!!
Does this mean we can drive on the Red carpet? 😏
😂
They are not being treated fairly by management. Support on the day to day is not there
Who is treated fair by their management?

Lol get lost... you getting 40 dollars plus per hour to drive buses and sit behind a booth looking at instagram and tiktok and complaining?
@@brianyoon7612 exactly
"LONG WEEKEND" brought to you by an outdated Union system.
oh they'll probably take it to the 11th hour just to keep everyone on their toes.
Might as well decommission it jus like how they decommission the Scarborough RT lol 🤡 clowns
