“We recognize that ActiveTO has played a crucial role in encouraging people to go out and move around again, at a time when leisure options were limited. “However, the location of this program in 2022 drastically affects the ability of fans to access the park on summer weekends, when baseball is a major attraction in the city,” the letter said. “Many of our fans travel to the Rogers Center outside of GTA and public transportation is not an option. Out-of-town fans are often unaware of ActiveTO and do not know how to spend extra travel time.” Despite the claim that public transport is not an option, no explanation is ever given as to why it is not an option. This includes the idea of part-time public transport, such as parking at a remote GO or subway station and then driving on a subway or bus. Needless to say, many users, including Metrolinx, were quick to point out this error in logic.
Άρ Get the GO to the ball game! Children under 12 are always free and the one-day weekend pass for unlimited travel is only available for $ 10!

This is not “I have no choice”. This is “I’m too lazy to make the choices I have” – The Curiosity (@The_Curiosity) June 10, 2022 Others, meanwhile, have been quick to point out that ActiveTO programs are far from being the biggest congestion in the city center.
If that works, let Mark Shapiro ask Mayor Tory to speed up all his construction, as this is a greater resistance to driving in the game. – Stephen R. Clark (@theMediaman) June 10, 2022 With the City Council meeting on June 15 to reconsider ActiveTO interventions, Shapiro and the Blue Jays may get what they want – but it is clear that they will upset many local fans if that happens.
