The transit agency will shutter service on Line 1 Yonge-University between St. Clair and Sheppard-Yonge for the first two days of the long weekend, reopening on Monday, May 20, by approximately 6 a.m.

TTC barely runs during the week when getting people to work, and when its needed the most for local Torontonians during the weekend it just chooses to shutdown entirely.

A transit system like the TTC should be designed to move people around in a city during their normal day to day lives, this includes weekends for shopping and relaxation? Not just work.

Is the TTC only to get people to work? If so, maybe workplaces should be funding it more?

Talking about work life balance, our non-working hours are just as important, if not more.
