Violence on the TTC has made headlines in recent months and is expected to be a main topic of discussion surrounding the upcoming mayoral byelection.
Recent data from the TTC suggests safety incidents were down in February after police boosted patrols in the system and the agency added extra security guards and outreach workers.
