Where's my bus? How Premier Ford's cuts will affect your neighbourhood

Premier Ford wants to cancel bus routes that are "low performing," and replace them with private companies like Uber.1 

Is your bus at risk of being cut? The 24 bus routes pictured below carried fewer than 4,000 daily TTC riders in 2018.2 Could your bus be up for evaluation as a "low performing" route? 

Join us to demand permanent provincial transit funding from Premier Ford! Riders urgently need more bus service to fix crowding during the pandemic, not cuts and privatization. 

Take action! 

Read more here or check out transit expert Steve Munro's analysis of what "low performing" routes might mean. Steve points out that if the criterion for cancelling routes is fewer than 4,000 riders, there are in fact 61 TTC routes that meet the threshold.

Thank you to Henry Lin for designing these maps and posters.

Toronto has spent years dealing with the consequences of underfunded public transit. Aging infrastructure, delayed repairs and subway slow zones have all placed pressure on a system that millions of Torontonians rely on. These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
