TTC Strike

Saturday April 26, 2008
It seems TTC workers have rejected the deal reached earlier this week, so the TTC is on strike. Right now.

According to the CityNews article the decision not to give the public the same 48 hours notice that was promised earlier are due to fears that front-line workers could be in danger from an angry public.

Hopefully this will come to a quick end, perhaps even in time for the Monday rush, but if you had plans for this weekend or are one of the many people for whom a normal work-week does not apply, here are few links that may be able to smooth your way. And you may also want to consider using GO Transit, if so visit the GO Transit website for schedules.

Of course, nothing I'm posting here will do any good to the many people who are out for a fun Friday evening, or are working tonight and will suddenly find themselves without a way home. Personally, I wouldn't have been angry with the TTC if they'd given notice, but cutting off service literally part-way through an evening is a ridiculous way to go about things.
