The TTC has hired a new chief executive who said he hopes to get the city’s buses, subways and streetcars moving more efficiently.
Some Toronto residents are pushing back against proposed rapid bus lanes on Bathurst street after an online petition raised more than 1,400 signatures.
City staff said more than 35,000 TTC riders use the 7-Bathurst bus and 511 Bathurst streetcar. However, both modes often arrive late as they mix with vehicles sharing the road. “People on Bathurst are facing overcrowded buses, streetcars and unpredictable wait times,” said August Puranauth, with TTC Riders. “It’s not just transit riders impacted by this, but drivers as well.
Some Torontonians are unsure about the effectiveness of mental health crisis workers on the TTC while the city considers support programs’ expansion, but these experts say it could be effective.
The City of Toronto is sharing plans to install rapid bus lanes on sections of Dufferin Street, and commuters say the project is well overdue.
