Newly released data from the City of Toronto from May and June confirms that the King Street pilot is working!
The 504 streetcar is the busiest surface transit route in the city, with 72,000 riders per day before the pilot began. But we all know that the street wasn’t working for anyone - traffic congestion made it faster to walk than take transit, and overcrowding and unreliable travel times discouraged people from taking the streetcar to travel along King Street.
