Alexandra Stoeckle, the TTC bus operator who was shot at with a BB gun in Scarborough, has written an open letter to Toronto Mayor John Tory and TTC CEO Rick Leary, calling for action.
Alexandra Stoeckle thought Saturday was going to be a typical day at work.
"Obviously, your human reaction is to cover your face when that happens. And once it stopped, and I looked back over, it was just teenagers in their car. They shouted some profanities at me and the TTC and drove away," she said. Stoeckle remembered she was a bit hesitant to report the incident to authorities, thinking, "why bother?" when the suspects had already fled. But she decided to make the call.
In the letter, Stoeckle provided a timeline of what happened to her. She wrote how she and many of her colleagues feel that the transit system has become "more and more unsafe."
