on where mayoral candidates stand on a number of issues impacting the TTC, including service cuts, Wheel-Trans, the Scarborough RT, bus lanes, safety, and funding.
“Anthony Furey gets a red flag because he wants to get rid of red [priority] bus lanes. Scarborough transit users will need bus lanes and better service more than ever after the Scarborough RT closes this fall.” According to the survey, when asked if they would vote to reverse TTC service cuts and increase service beyond pre-pandemic levels, candidates Olivia Chow, Josh Matlow, Mitzie Hunter, and Anthony Furey all agreed that they would.
Chow also vowed to roll back the cuts, telling the TTCRiders “When you increase fares and you cut service, people will say ‘I’m not going to take the TTC anymore.’”
