Original Toronto Star caption: Boosting morale, Ready to reassure commuters about security on the subway, TTC chairman Julian Porter stands on the platform at the St. Clair station before subway opened this morning. I'm satisfied that the security arrangements are complete, he said before boarding a train to Eglingon. Many other civic leaders also rode the subway during the morning rush hour.
