Too often riders face delays with no explanation and shutdowns with no warning. Toronto needs to treat transit riders better.
Streetcar reform is central to my platform. As Mayor, I will move streetcars through intersections faster, speed up the doors, take a hard look at left turns for cars on streetcar routes so a full streetcar never waits on one driver, and deliver real signal priority.
I support RapidTO lanes as part of a real transportation master plan, prioritized using ridership and delay data rather than decided project by project.
I will improve frequency on major bus routes, especially those connecting to subway and LRT lines, and coordinate schedules on nearby parallel streets so buses run at alternating times and riders have a reliable backup. Fixing slow zones and aging infrastructure is basic maintenance, and must be funded. If the TTC is going to regularly shut down for maintenance, inconveniencing the public, riders deserve to see results.
