$6.7 Million To Automate Stop Announcement

Why in the hell do the transit drivers, who are well paid, not be mandated to call out the stops.........it already happens on a lot of the surface routes so why we are spending $6.7 million while threatening to shutdown subway lines and reduce surface routes.. It is stupid and just another example of City Of Toronto wasting taxpayer $$$.

TORONTO -- A blind Toronto lawyer's successful battle to have the city's transit system announce each and every stop has set a precedent that will reverberate through public transportation systems across the country, legal experts say.

Two years after the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal ordered the Toronto Transit Commission to announce every station along its subway lines, the tribunal ruled it must do the same on buses and streetcars by the end of this month.

have you tried driving a big bus with 50+ people to deal with on top of Toronto traffic, and have to call out the street names, and you better not forget ONE or there'll be legal action?

guess not. It's really not hard to figure out.

Is this the best conservative supporters can do for solutions for the budget shortfall?

man oh man. This is saaaaaad.

We have Miller one side, and this nonsense on the other. Perhaps it really is time to move.
