TTC Public Meetings on Proposed Route Changes

Proposed route changes being considered for implementation in May 2011 would reallocate service, during some times of the week, from bus routes which have low ridership. These changes are required to free up resources to increase service on routes where it is needed most due to record-level ridership.

Four public meetings were held to provide information on the routes which are proposed for reallocation and alternatives to those routes, and to obtain feedback from customers:

  • Monday, January 24, 2011, Metro Hall;
  • Tuesday, January 25, 2011, North York Central Library;
  • Wednesday, January 26, 2011, Scarborough Civic Centre;
  • Thursday, January 27, 2011, Elmbank Community Centre.

Comments were received at the Open Houses both in written form and provided verbally to staff. In addition, written comments were received by email and regular mail during the process - review the Public Meeting Comments.
