Riders, if you ever wonder why your bus is delayed with either longer travel or wait times, this image below is the main reason why and the most common.
Complaining to your transit agency will not solve the problem unless you’re in favour or f prioritizing transit vehicles.

A TTC streetcar *looks* big, but its total space footprint in traffic replaces just 5 stopped cars or ~2 moving ones. A street car can be nearly empty and still be more efficient than cars.

Analysis
Freezing fares is popular amongst the riders but it’s not financially sustainable as cost pressures from fuel, labour contracts, materials etc…. will continue to increase.
In her re-election campaign, Olivia Chow touted progress she made during her first term as mayor. While she proposed some new policies, her platform was largely a pledge to keep going on that work.
Here's what she promised for the next 4 years. #TOpoli

Opinion
Now that the municipal election results were released, moving forward, hopefully new council members will put public transit at the forefront.
Analysis
I’ve done analysis on Mr. Bradford’s transit pledges and I will reiterate them again.
Follow along.
Having shovels in the ground by 2030 under our current planning rules is simply not doable unless Mr. Bradford find ways to speed up the process.
Previous transit projects from planning to shovels in the ground takes on average 5 years or more.

Transit signal priority means:
1) Extending a green light to allow a bus or streetcar before it turns amber
2) Shorten existing red lights for transit vehicles stopped.
3) If a bus or streetcar is seconds away, give it a green light so it doesn’t have to stop.
#LATEST: Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford says he plans to expand transit signal priority and signal pre-emption across the entire streetcar network, including the Crosstown LRT and Finch West LRT. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/…
Analysis
Let’s independantly analyze Brad Bradford’s latest transit pledge.

Bradford pledges ‘common sense’ transit plan for Toronto marathon, Chow fires back cp24.com/local/toronto/2026/…
Brad wants to pledge a 30 day action plan before any major events take place. This is realistic.
If Brad wants to faster streetcar service, he is going to have to tell TTC to remove internal speed restrictions for its streetcars. Eliminating some stops is a good first step.
