TTC re-launches online shop
More than three years after it was first talked about (but just in time for Christmas), the TTC has re-launched its online shop.
Baby onesies, mugs, and shower curtains are among the items on sale on the website.
The site opened on Monday.

Three years ago, the TTC opened a shop at Davisville Station, selling replicas of vintage subway maps and TTC ads. At the time, spokesman Brad Ross said an online store was in the works.
The TTC said Monday that they assumed no financial risk in opening the online store, as the TTC Shop is run by SVS Marketing. SVS Marketing “will manage the inventory and fulfill orders with no up-front costs,” the TTC said in a statement.
The TTC receives sales revenue, and will publicly report how much money they make. The TTC also “retains all rights to its brand as well as all creative and product decisions.”
The TTC has previously sold merchandise at a store called “Transit Stuff” at Union Station. Spacing magazine has sold subway buttons and other transit-themed items at its online store and its downtown location.
