TTC riders question the lack of enforcement after maskless subway protest

Description (Dublin Core)

"TTC riders are questioning the agency’s priorities after protesters deliberately broke TTC mask rules without repercussion.

"Protesters rode the system on Tuesday without face coverings, flouting the TTC’s 'mandatory” mask rule, which the agency has admitted it doesn’t intend to enforce. It argues that its officers can’t tell, simply by looking, who is unable to wear a mask for medical reasons.

"Upset riders took to Twitter on Tuesday to question the agency’s priorities given the heavy enforcement of fare evasion policy that included highly visible campaigns and hefty fines."
