Hello Mr. Mayor,
I am an 18 year old student who has been living in Toronto all my life, recently I heard that there may be a strike on the TTC. A strike on the TTC would make it near to impossiable to live my day-to-day life (eg: school, work, entertainment) as I have no access to any other form of transportation nor can I afford to use a taxi to goto school for everyday of the possible TTC Strike (approx $30/day - $15 each way), this would mean I would have to stay at home instead of goto school/work or wake up four hours earlier (normal allowance for getting prepaired, plus a two hour walk to my school).
Although waking up four hours earlier is no problem it leaves me fearing for my safety as I will be wondering the streets of an area I do not know well at around 3-4am.
I was wondering if the City Of Toronto could do something to prevent such a strike such as deeming the TTC an ‘essential service’ (which it is to most people in the city).
I look forward to your reply and thank you for your time. -Kevin Welford-Costelloe Toronto Resident
