Transit group urges grumpy TTC riders to take selfies
But Tory says it's not necessary to raise focus
TORONTO - Save your selfie TTC riders: John Tory already knows you’re grumpy.
The transit advocacy group TTCriders is encouraging people to send a selfie via Twitter with the hashtag #grumpyrider to elected officials the next time they feel “grumpy” while taking the TTC.
The social media campaign, which also includes Facebook and Instagram, is aimed at getting municipal and provincial politicians to “understand the collective frustration Toronto’s 1.7 million riders feel when we face overcrowding, delays, breakdowns, long wait times and more on the TTC,” according to TTCriders.
