More than 1 bus per minute: Bus lanes needed for Scarborough RT replacement bus service
Toronto City Councillors on the TTC Board will vote April 14th, 2022 on how to replace the Scarborough RT when it closes in 2023. TTCriders supports the plan to transform the RT corridor into a busway, because it’s the fastest and most reliable replacement option and there is strong community support. But during the 2 years it takes to build the busway, transit priority measures like bus lanes are needed so the additional 70 buses per hour during peak periods don't get stuck in traffic.
