Your TTC is getting a shake-up, fam
Okay but real talk—the Toronto Transit Commission just made a big move on April 16, 2026. The TTC board voted 7-0 to respond to Bill 98, the "Building Homes and Improving Transportation Infrastructure Act, 2026." This wasn't some quiet background thing, dude. Chair Jamaal Myers brought forward a motion without notice, seconded by Ausma Malik. Councillors Dianne Saxe, Josh Matlow, and Jamaal Myers all voted "Yes." Alejandra Bravo was marked absent, but the motion still carried unanimously among those present.
### What This Means for You
This Bill 98, it's coming from the province, and it's looking to shake up how we build homes and, yeah, our transportation. The TTC's swift, unanimous response shows they’re serious about protecting Toronto’s interests. We're talking about the backbone of our city here, the 501 Queen streetcar, the Scarborough RT (RIP, fam, but also, what's next?). This vote isn't just bureaucracy; it's our city council pushing back, or at least strategically engaging, with provincial powers on something that directly impacts your commute, your rent, everything.
What's next? We need to watch how this "response" unfolds. Is it a fight? A negotiation? Either way, it's going to shape the future of development and transit across the 6ix.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
