Filip Panaitescu, with advocacy group TTCriders, said people sometimes opt to use cars to travel between Scarborough Town Centre and Kennedy Station, an unaffordable long-term alternative to longer commutes, which he noted contributes to traffic congestion and carbon emissions.
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.
