: Buses are an integral part of any transit system, ideally providing frequent short journeys to nearby higher-order transit such as commuter rail, subways or light rail. The problem in Toronto is that higher-order transit does not serve vast swaths of the city, primarily the northeast and northwest where incomes tend to be lower.
I’m all for increased bus services and bus rapid transit, but for decades the bus has been doing the heavy lifting meant for higher-order transit through much of Toronto. I don’t see that changing any time soon.Perhaps instead of spending billions of dollars on subways and light-rail transit that take years to build , cities such as Toronto should build bus routes in hydro right-of-ways.
