Toronto had the least reliable transit service in 2022 compared to other municipalities in the region, according to newly released transit report cards from the Toronto Region Board of Trade.
The average score was based on frequent and basic services, reliability, transit priority, 24-hour service, integration with neighbouring transit systems and service improvement.
Toronto's lower score was attributed to congestion issues and frequent diversions due to construction. The report notes most recent Toronto transit service cuts are not accounted for and "would negatively affect grading."The report cards said more funding and integration is needed to keep up with population growth and operating costs of transit across the Greater Toronto Area.
To get an A in Toronto, the report's suggestions include expanding express bus services, adding more streetcar routes, addressing safety issues on the TTC and integrating fares with GO Transit. Giles Gherson, chair of the Economic Blueprint Institute at the Toronto Region Board of Trade, said the provincial and federal governments must support municipalities' transit operation and equipment costs to meet the growing demand.
