TTC drivers too busy to call stops

TTC drivers too busy to call stops:

"The TTC encourages its streetcar and bus drivers to call out all stops when bad weather or overcrowding makes it difficult for sighted passengers to see out the window.

But it told a human rights tribunal yesterday that under regular conditions, drivers have too many other duties and distractions to safely call all stops for blind passengers.

'If (operators) want to call additional stops, that's fine as long as it's safe to do so,' Robert Boutilier, the TTC's deputy chief general manager of surface operations, testified yesterday."
