TTC vehicles arriving late 53% of the time, Swiftly app reports

By News Staff

If you’ve got a friend who’s always running late, it could be the TTC’s fault.

According to the San Francisco-based transit app Swiftly, Toronto buses and streetcars are arriving on time less than half of the time.

Swiftly collected real-time data over a four-week stretch in January and February, and found TTC buses and streetcars arrived off-schedule 53 per cent of the time.

Off-schedule is defined as more than one minute early or more than four minutes late.

According to Swiftly’s data, the 510 Spadina bus arrives on time less than 25 per cent of the time. The app’s data shows the 502 Downtowner and the 46 Martin Grove buses are also among the worst in terms of arriving on time. The 171 Mount Denis, 49 Bloor and 30 Lambton are among the best, arriving on time over 75 per cent of the time.

TTC spokesman Brad Ross said the service is always working to improve reliability.

Swiftly is a scheduling app that provides real-time data about municipal transportation.
