The TTC has implement service cuts on 39 transit routes which will disproportionately impact marginalized communities. Monica from TTCriders states that these service cuts will only lead to a decrease in ridership, ultimately resulting in more cuts and poor service and affirms that adequate funding is needed from the government. Concerns regarding safety on riders' commutes has also grown with increased waiting times.
The TTC has reduced services on 39 transit routes as of today and the impact will disproportionately affect marginalized communities.

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.
