TTC service cuts will disproportionately affect marginalized areas of Toronto Toronto TTC
research, led by Dr. Raktim Mitra of TransForm Lab at Toronto Metropolitan University
"Lower-income people, those with precarious employment, new immigrants, and older and younger people often depend on public transit for their everyday needs, compared to less deprived groups for whom public transit may sometimes be a choice,"The study found a correlation between the locations of reduced TTC services and the hot spots of materially deprived neighbourhoods.
The study also found that 22 of 28 — or 79 per cent — of the TTC routes that will experience at least a 10 per cent increase in wait times go through or connect to a neighbourhood with high-level dependency.Raktim Mitra, Tess Peterman - TMU
