Rider’s Strike: James Bow Editorial

James Bow, author and urban planner, has posted a editorial on the Transit Toronto blog detailing his response to the upcoming rider’s strike.

Well, I didn’t organize it, and I won’t be participating in it (given that I now live in Kitchener, the point is rather moot), but I wish the organizers all success, because I understand their frustration. I don’t agree with their focus on the TTC as “the enemy”, so to speak, but I hope that their action will also send a message to the municipal and provincial politicians which control the TTC’s subsidy.

I encourage everyone to go read it. While you’re at it, check out Steve Munro’s take on the token hoarding issue.
