People awaiting training / medical dates will probably be waiting a very very long time. They will need to recall operators laid off first before even thinking of new training classes.

That's true, but from what I know that they didn't laid off anyone yet Am not sure I would like to be optimistic, by increasing the ridership flow they will need more busses and operators to keep social distancing in effect And they know that to put a new trainee on the road it needs a month or may be more , on the other hand as the city starts to reopen, I think by the end of may to mid june 80-90 % of the businesses will be opened They will find themselves in a race with ti.e ro accommodate the demand Just brain storming with wishful thinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ttcscarb Report post Posted August 4 Good news update. As you guys are aware the federal and provincial government has provided covid funding for transit and the ttc is expected to receive a large share of it. at the moment the training has resumed for master signup transfers to retrain for their new modes. from the grape vine I have heard operators who were laid off to be recalled before November and then perhaps new operators to be called up for training.
