Questions raised about TTC Between Stations’ social media videos, campaign.

A recent campaign focused on making connections while riding transit is causing some to raise questions about its efficacy and rider safety.

Coun. Josh Matlow : "These videos come across as tone deaf and don’t reflect those priorities, but most importantly it’s around safety".

The idea came up for this series to talk about what it’s like to be a Gen-Z living in the city of Toronto and finding meaningful connections.

“What I hear in general from the public is that they want us to focus on our priorities, especially we’ve got to when we've got a cash-strapped transit system. We are struggling to keep it affordable,” Matlow said.
