This episode was useless. A puff piece. The reporter asked no hard questions. Didn’t challenge the CEO, just allowed him to write his own narrative of the TTC. 64% of riders are satisfied is a laughable statistic. On yelp TTC gets 1.6 starts and the reviews of the TTC is horrible because the TTC is horrible. The only aspect you can rely on with the TTC is that it will make you late.
I just listened to the episode about increased police presence in our city. The host (forgive me, I can’t remember his name) did an incredible job interviewing both guests, and kept asking the follow up questions to dig in deeper. Count me as a new follower of this podcast series - essential listening if you’re a Toronto resident, connecting us to what’s happening in our own backyard. Bravo.
