-2to arrive late to work or to school. We hear countless stories from customers who watch
streetcars pass them by daily, or have to disembark a legacy streetcar because it has
broken down from its old age. This happens all too often, and it happens because the new
Bombardier streetcars havent arrived as per our agreement.
Ultimately, this all means fewer people feeling as though the TTC is the best option to move
around the city. Bombardier delays are having a direct impact on whether people choose
transit, and are forcing people to find alternatives that often contribute to our increased
traffic congestion.
When we met with your senior officials, they indicated that your organization is
undertaking actions to change course, including your recent hire as the new North
American President, and a recovery program that will dedicate the Thunder Bay plant to
TTC production. To us this is a bare minimum especially if Bombardier, once a Canadian
source of pride, wants to maintain any ability to do business with entities such as ours.
We implore you to explore whether what you are doing is enough. The TTC simply cannot
afford to bear anymore financial or service burdens that have resulted from this delay.
TTC customers have been patient enough - they should not have to accept further delays.
Sincerely,
John Tory
Mayor of Toronto
Josh Colle
Chair of the TTC
Councillor Ward 15
