Our dedicated training professionals have developed extensive programs to complement the other programs we use that are available through the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA), such as the Ambassador Training Program. Frequent exposure to such training and development courses enhances the professionalism of the system’s operators and mechanics, and this in turn leads to greater confidence and satisfaction with the general public throughout the system.
We believe that our insistence on well trained, fairly and equitably treated personnel, and the emphasis we place on safety and service, is the foundation on which this ranking rests.
