As we all know the TTC is necessary for our daily transportation, throughout the years. Recently the TTC have been the highest news conference talk story in the media.
Today, TTC feels the need to raise the fare for all passengers commuting, because of the violence actions that are taken place in the stations. Questions is this the right way to go about this rising problem in our system?
Since the pandemic most Torontonian have been going through a lot of rollercoaster! of emotions. Commuting in a public environment with these new covid19 rules sometimes feels very overwhelming.
In the past years, speaking from experience, I used to admire the talented artists from Actra Union. These artists would ask the TTC for permission to show off there talents, by playing Soothing music with instruments, And expressing there Contemporary choreograph dancing.
During the commuting rush hour times, People would walk past these artists feeling so refreshed re-energized,calm and motivated, All because someone was there to play the right song at that time, which would leave an lasting impression in the heart of the commuter.
I strongly believe that if the TTC takes initiative by Making a Professional lighting Platform Stage in every train station Include with (AI) high definition camera that can read the motions and Pick up on the body language of their commuters each and everyday, the TTC will Get to know their commuters individually without meeting them in person.
In the meanwhile these talented artists would do there best to make a difference By creating a happy vibes each and every day And will also get the exposure that they need. This would help to create a smooth atmosphere and also create a tourism attraction for the TTC, Not only it will also help with the mental State of mind of the people who are going through their daily responsibilities and prioritie for the day.
TTC also has the right of way to show some form of appreciation, for the elderly pensioners who were the original passengers that made the TTC established the way it is today! and to also support the new upcoming caregivers and leaders of the future, which are all the students in Toronto, by allowing them to travel the bus system each and every day for free.
Wi-Fi and solar energy is the future, The TTC can also introduce free Wi-Fi in every station and buses, this can help the TTC google App, Create a diversity and a new way of expressing ourself as Torontonians Commuters.
Sincerely Jody Williams for Mayor of Toronto
