March 2009

The TTC broke its all-time highest ridership record by carrying 466.7 million customers in 2008.

The TTC had its largest service increase on record last year. More than 100 buses were added to peak period service, and new evening and weekend services were introduced so that all bus and streetcar routes run all day, every day, bringing service within a convenient walking distance of all neighbourhoods in Toronto, at all times.

Last November, the TTC’s 12-month ridership hit an all-time record of 465 million rides, surpassing 1988’s record of 463.5 million. The year-end total came in at 466.7 million.

In 2009, additional service increases – and improved customer communications – will make public transit in Toronto an even better experience for everyone.
