Toronto Drivers are Above the Law (with RMTransit)

from The Urbanist Agenda

Toronto has almost completely stopped issuing parking tickets to drivers, even as it faces critical budget problems. But this is just one more decision in a long line that allow drivers in Toronto to get away with almost any behaviour. From running red lights to driving literally twice the speed limit, the Toronto Police have proven, time and time again, that Toronto drivers are above the law.https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/2023/03/07/the-number-of-parking-tickets-has-plunged-in-cash-strapped-toronto-why-the-lax-enforcement.htmlhttps://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2019/11/22/even-as-collisions-rise-toronto-police-traffic-enforcement-falls-to-lowest-level-since-amalgamation.htmlhttps://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/2023/03/15/ttcs-fare-crackdown-demands-vigilance.htmlhttps://www.narcity.com/toronto/toronto-police-officer-sparks-debate-over-ttc-fare-evasion-people-think-fines-are-too-highWant to do something about it?
