According to the most recent report card from the Toronto Region Board of Trade, our transit system received a failing grade—okay, it was more like a B (which is fine for, say, an elective). But, overall, Toronto had the least reliable service compared to other municipalities in the region. For anyone who uses the TTC regularly, that should come as no surprise—and the report didn’t even touch on safety. Toronto’s transit system is a mess. Our July cover story gets at what went wrong—and who’s to blame. |
