The TTC went on strike today. The repercussions were not fun. Traffic was choked. 800 workers striked for better working conditions. Close to 800,000 commuters were stranded looking for other ways of getting into work. After 12 hours approximately the workers have been ordered back to work by court order. Economic losses would be interesting, to both offices in Toronto and to the TTC itself. Weirdly enough, both UToronto and Ryerson were operating as per normal. Luckily, being a Mississauga resident I wasn’t too affected by this. People having to walk to work ended up having to deal with a Humidex factor of close to 42C. Simultaneously, we had a smog alert day. I wonder how many people with breathing and health issues ended up at their doctors because of the TTC, today. The TTC Website has some rather amusing updates.
