The TTC will recommend Wednesday that seven bus routes facing cuts be fully restored and nineteen more of the 48 original slated for reallocation continue with partial service.
The move comes after a series of public meetings initiated a change in the criteria used to reallocate service.
Initially, routes that had less than 15 people boarding per hour were targeted, but that number has now been lowered to less than 10 riders per hour.
“What (we are) looking to is taking resources from routes that aren’t being well utilized and putting it towards routes that currently have crowding or capacity concerns,” said TTC Chair Karen Stintz.
“We came up with a new policy criteria that made more sense that will allow us to still realize some savings and will allow us to reinvest in other areas of the system, but will also see some of the original routes remain unchanged. The new policy is less than 10 boarding an hour.”
The latest recommendations, to be finalized at a meeting on February 2nd, will save $4million. That’s down from $7million the original plan was projected to save.
