Thousands of seniors and people with disabilities could lose full door-to-door access to public transit in Toronto under a new plan that requires some Wheel-Trans users to re-register for the service, says a report by public transit advocacy group TTCriders.
Some wheel-trans users are speaking out after being asked to re-apply for the service, and worry they now won't be eligible. The TTC says the changes are based on the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act guidelines, and help ensure equity.
