Prior to Friday’s announcement, the TTC had said that the absence of a federal commitment to upgrading the trains on Line 2 presented a “serious issue.” “We know how important the TTC is, we know that more than two million people a day rely on this important subway, and we know that Toronto is growing, and we need to have public transit that grows with the needs of our growing city,” Freeland said at a news conference in Toronto.
