Signs and information are the front door of the TTC. When thousands of international tourists visit for the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup, we want them to be taking public transit.

Easy-to-use TTC information and signs will not only benefit visitors to the city, but encourage all Toronto residents to take transit again in the future.

You shouldn’t get lost while taking the TTC! Ask Toronto City Council to invest in upgrading signs and information across the TTC, including up-to-date schedule information on trip planning apps and the TTC website.

The TTC is creating a new "wayfinding" strategy, but it lacks funding. Wayfinding means the signage, information, and audio announcements that guide you through the transit system.

Indore in Madhya Pradesh, India, was once dotted with fetid waste dumps but after a huge campaign is now virtually spotless

This is what happens usually in India: a politician wakes up and launches a cleanliness “drive” with fanfare. They ostentatiously start sweeping a street and speak solemnly about civic duty while the media take photos. The next day it’s over and things go back to how they were before.

Before 2017, Indore had been ranked 25th of 471 towns and cities in the government’s cleanliness rankings.

In many cities, families will keep their home scrupulously clean, but a few feet from their front door rubbish is left lying around.

“That other area is seen as someone else’s responsibility and no one sees any contradiction in wa

A newly released audit of the Toronto Transit Corporation’s (TTC) operations found growing discontent among the transit agency’s non-unionized staff, including worsening concerns about safety and a turnover rate of up to 62 per cent in some departments in recent years.

In 2023 and 2024 exit surveys the TTC conducted with departing employees, over half of respondents said their decision to leave was influenced, mostly or in part, by an “unhealthy organizational culture,” “lack of trust in the executive/senior leadership,” and “growth and career advancement.”

A smaller percentage of employees responded that “psychological safety” (35 per cent), “discrimination towards them during their employment” (29 per cent), and “physical safety” (14 per cent) were contributing factors in their choice to leave.
