The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) in November will recall the remaining 179 employees who the agency furloughed in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

TTC is recalling the employees to better meet service demands due to increased ridership as schools and businesses reopen in Toronto, TTC officials said in a press release.

The agency also needs additional staff to accommodate its proposed plan to advance a major asbestos removal program on Line 1.

In addition, TTC projects there will be operator retirements in late 2020. A plan to recruit and train new operators in 2021 is underway, agency officials said.
