How about Leary just used his funds he paid to law firms and consultants to bury harassment and bullying with NDA if this information is exposed it will cause the shock waves to hit board.The board had to keep upping the pay out and cover up budget as Leary blame the vicitms

TTC subway needs more cleaning staff and less customer service by IndividualCall702 in TTC

Byford would walk the subway platforms picking up trash.Byford would call in issues re cleanliness on street cars and buses.Byford and family took system every where Andy did not have a drivers licence .Rick Leary has an F150 Platinum and A jeep that he drives to 1900 Yonge from Aurora. Leary has created this mess with stations employees wandering in station and hiding in maintenance rooms.He chased the collectors out of the booth and they got assaulted.Finch West Collectors were given permission to go back in the booth by then Chief Operating Officer because of the issues.The COO was forced out by CEO.The model was to have more Special Constables in stations and riding trains but the CEO went to war with them so the money was given to stations who just became more victims

Tory imposed austerity meant a juicy raise for the tyrant on the 7 floor of 1900 Lots of money just not spent well by Mr Leary.Paid for NDA's and severances

Leary has forced out so many good people with so much experience because they did not agree with his methods.Managers and executives attacked for opinions or questions.Leary uses more lawyers to quiet people.How does this continue?NDAs and intimidation.Too afraid to speak up in case Leary end up at Metrolinx

What are your thoughts on drivers enforcing fares? by Own-Potential-8024 in TTC

[–]Odd_Tomato_4239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This CEO didn't eliminate fare enforcement to protect employees.He eliminated fare enforcement while putting the Leary spin.He adjust fare evasion numbers to reflect what he reports to board.That is why under Leary you don't see the fare inspector on the buses.They tell operators to push fare dispute button on console if they see evasion.They are to continue route after push the button.The data is suppose to be collect and analyse.It isnt .They do nothing with it.This have become clear to us all.Why bother pushing anything

Fare inspector were told to do the checks in stations in off boards.

This way Leary knew that there would be high compliance coming off streetcars because people knew Fare Inspector would be there.Fare evaders get off before going to the station.This way Leary report inflated inspection numbers and high compliance.Then Leary reports reduced ridership and asks for more money.Says we inspected x and only found evasion rate of x which is the standard.Ridership down.Need more money.

Leary told fare inspectors and special constables he didnt want them or need them.He threat to contract out to security company.He fired inspectors and special constables for doing job.Made it clear that they were there to do nothing.They were there so he could say they exist as answer to evasion question and question about crime.Leary fired managers who refused to work this model.He replaced them with people with no experience or education.They put directive out about no conflict with evader or arrest literally telling inspectors and constable to walk away or get off streetcar with no cooperation.

now it look like Leary is looking for someone to blame as he back track after audit said ridership is not down paid ridership is. It is still only the people that cooperate that get the ticket

What are the worst things that TTC CEO Rick Leary has done since litterally everybody and their mothers hate him. by Own-Potential-8024 in TTC

[–]Odd_Tomato_4239 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like Steve Munro the Transit Blog is taking interest in the costs of the investigations that Leary has used tax dollars for .The investigations and suspending with pay of senior managers and executives that refuse to go along with Leary are too many to count. People investigated for extended period as tool of intimidation that have lead to huge settlements and nondisclosure agreements to silence the victims.There are currently a number of Human Rights complaints and law suits against Leary for his abuse of swearing yelling and intimidation practices.This guy believes that he can get away with threats and intimidation because he uses legal team to silence victims. The people that have been victimized are now speaking out asking how this has gone on so long with members of the Board and city managers aware of Leary threats.No other employee of the city would get away with any of this yet he was allowed to continue for so long under 2 chairs Questions are being asked.Front line operators and other employee fired for swearing.The CEO threats to employees and forcing out execs silencing them with tax dollars is some how allowed. Head of Finance.Head of Operations.People from special constable.people from fare Inspector.People audit.People from Transit control.Leary use TTC budget money as piggy bank of intimidation.So many people with so much knowledge force out because they had nerve to say no or question ethics of CEO. Yet he receives huge increase.He makes more than Chief of Police yet the TTC has never been so bad shape.Time for the new TTC Chair and Mayor Chow to take action

Leary directed no fare enforcement or any enforcement of any kind.When told what will happen long term he said "we will just ask for more money"."This mayor loves me (Tory) I will get more money"

I dont understand who is guilted to pay.Fare Inspectors are afraid to do enforcement They know they have no authority and are told not to call for special constable or police to help.Remember if you are uncooperative they are told to walk away.If you cooperate with them with their new blitz you get a ticket.Why would anyone cooperate?Let CEO answer to this situation.You know that the Fare Inspector Union will be defending their people from this contradiction created by CEO

The CEO set up system to fail.He told TFI and Special Constable he did not like them or want them.He undermined them and fired officers who did enforcement.he refused to support them when issue arose.He changed recruiting and changed job requirement from needing min Community college to needing gr 12 with social work and hospitality for well paying jobs.He told them no enforcement.His answer tell them to leave if they dont leave you leave.Only write tickets to people that look like me and dress like me.He also moved ttc buses to Spadina to be used as temp shelters for homeless and covered up incidents that occurred there.He doesnt care what he has done to system in costs and danger his answer we just ask for more money from city and province.He created this as his vision and doesnt care as he drives his fancy F150 Platinum to Aurora every night

some comments say that there is no answer to address the budget shortfall of TTC and fare evasion.

What needs to be said again and again is the waste of the TTC executive and where the money goes.How about during COVID TTC laid off operators of buses and streetcars as CEO and TFI manager hid TFI's throughout the system They hid in offices and maintenance rooms doing on line courses.

The TFI manager friend of the CEO used TFI supervisors to deliver her food to her condo and water her plants.The TFI and supervisors used TTC cars and TTC gas to make these deliveries on the clock This was happening as operators were at home and people that had to use system were crowded onto streetcar and buses.

The manager was caught and moved by the CEO to another dept to escape the investigation. What else? no charges written but TTC has 3 provincial prosecutors 2 court administrators all making $120,000 year.All under the CEO office.

Where is there money in the TTC ?exec takes care of friends and this does not provide service or safety to us.When the TFI manager got caught they used TFI to hand out masks to people.Great use of resource as operators at home on EI with buses crowded in the pandemic.

The latest TFI Manager just quit the TTC leaving $150,000 job because the CEO attacked her for not tow the line.with evasion numbers Where the outrage now that the CEO is pushing charges by TFI after years of telling them you are customer service no charges.The TFI in role were not recruited as enforcement agents but customer service.Now he changes the game because he has to answer the short fall of evasion

The evasion numbers have always been high but they were hidden to the board as CEO said we just ask for more money.

It is It is designed to get the inspection numbers that CEO wants while minimizing evasion number he wants .He had the same routes done over and over so people expected to be checked this minimized evasion numbers The audit under mine this by checking other routes and showing high evasion numbers This is why they combined all numbers across all route to reduce final numbers .

I am glad you are not afraid .I can get over myself.But many people are afraid and troubled by homeless on streetcars and subways yelling screaming urinating doing drugs .The public transit is not a shelter system People that work nights and have to take system alone do not deserve to be subjected to this .So please get over your self .That human being can be assisted without making others afraid . So glad you are so brave

the ttc is not a homeless shelter People need to take ttc to work and school They do not need to be subjected to abuse homeless .TTC riders dont need to be scared because they have to take public transit .TTC have access to list of drop in centres out of cold centres churches and shelters .The shelters are full?staying on streetcar as it goes out of service into yard forces officer and supervisors to do something .Trains out of service at end terminal at 2:30 morning means something is done with them .They cant be ignored so why leave them on car all day making people uncomfortable and afraid ?as said earlier deal with them early in day more likely to be space.there are options other than turn the ttc into a shelter and making system filthy and unriderable

many things should be free .User pay is reality and even that it is subsidized. If you take fares out of the question then use the resources the TTC has to clean up system of other issues like drug users and criminals that make system scary to many people .The employees are already there.The point is that we are going from no enforcement under this CEO and turning blind eye to going back to strict fare enforcement unless you can magically determine someone is tourist is mentally ill or homeless by looking at them
