Handcuffed for Failing to Tap Fare Card | Toronto News
Description
A mother speaks out after her 21-year-old son with a cognitive disability was allegedly violently detained and handcuffed by transit inspectors at Newmarket Bus Terminal—following a fare card oversight he couldn’t control due to his auditory processing issues. The incident, which also involved racial profiling concerns, left him traumatized and issued two tickets. Advocates are demanding an independent review and systemic change to protect passengers with invisible disabilities, while York Region Transit says it’s under investigation but won’t comment further.
