OC Transpo hires former TTC boss as new general manager | CBC News
"Riders are counting on us, not months from now or years from now, but today. They need a transit system they can depend on. I understand those expectations and I take them very seriously."
"We're not bringing someone up from the minor leagues here. He was a winner in the big leagues, so we're lucky to have someone of his caliber running our transit system."
"Leary said there were 'never any findings' regarding allegations of a toxic workplace, describing the environment at TTC as a 'pressure cooker.'"
Rick Leary has been appointed as the new general manager of OC Transpo, succeeding interim manager Troy Charter. His immediate priority is to develop a plan to restore full service to Line 1 of the LRT, which has been operating with single-car trains since January due to a bearing issue. Leary emphasizes the urgency of the situation, stating that riders need a reliable transit system. He has a strong background in transit management, having previously led the Toronto Transit Commission and worked with other transit authorities.
