The new TTC

The TTC will be changing its name.

It used to be the Toronto Transit Commission.

It's now called the Toronto Transitory Commission.

Transitory means brief or short lasting.

And that's what your subway ride will be. Because they're on their 70th year of repairing it.

Terms like "track work", "electrical issues", "fire", "raccoon", "police activity", "oil spill", "shuttle buses", "paint drying", "lunch break" and "we're tired of fixing it" are regular terms every TTC employee practices saying every day on the job.

Instead of saying TTC, please say the entire name out loud so we all know the truth.

If you really need to get to work, work in London, England. The London Underground, established in 1863, continues to hum along and is 2 billion times larger than the Toronto Transitory Commission.
