Within hours, TTC took down the signs installed by volunteers this morning. We'd hoped our helpful suggestions would stick around to help riders navigate. That's why we're asking Councillors to invest in the TTC's wayfinding strategy in the next budget: tttcriders.ca/wayfinding
Volunteers gave King Station a makeover this morning! You shouldn't get lost while taking the #TTC. Learn more and show your support for better TTC information and signs: www.ttcriders.ca/wayfinding
