Toronto transit ridership sputters, failing to hit projections or 2024 totals
NegativeWorld Affairs
- Toronto's transit ridership has continued to decline, failing to meet projections or reach 2024 totals, despite the TTC freezing fares for three years and gradually increasing service levels, including the opening of a new rapid transit line.
- This ongoing drop in ridership is concerning for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), as it reflects broader challenges in attracting commuters back to public transit, which is crucial for the city's transportation infrastructure and economic recovery post-pandemic.
- Additionally, the TTC is facing delays in the construction of Rogers' 5G network in the subway system due to maintenance issues and asbestos cleanup, highlighting ongoing operational hurdles that may further impact service reliability and ridership growth.
