With TTC service cuts now in effect, riders will be feeling the impacts of these changes in their daily commutes. Monica Mason from TTCriders states these cuts will largely impact marginalized, lower-income communities in Toronto who rely on transit heavily. She states that these current cuts will only lead to decreased ridership, resulting in more cuts and will also impact how safe riders feel on their commute with increased wait times.
Many TTC riders may be feeling the changes that have come to multiple routes over the weekend. Nearly 40 routes have been adjusted, which has impacts on wait times for some areas. Monica Mason from @ttcriders joins @Candace_Global to discuss the changes. pic.twitter.com/XnML0kXE8q
