Toronto Subway AlterLinks Topic Index Historical Atlas of Toronto Resource Type: Book No Fare Is Fair: A Campaign for Free Public Transit in Toronto Why Do We Need Free Transit? Resource Type: Article Published: 2018 Public transit should be a right for everyone in Toronto. Using subways, buses, and streetcars shouldn't require paying fares, or user fees, that penalize riders with lower incomes. Public Transit Struggles in London and Toronto: P3s, Transit Workers and Alternatives Resource Type: Film/Video Published: 2015 Using the fight against transit privatization practices in London, England, Rosenfeld presents a model for reform in Toronto that prioritizes rider concerns such as reduced fares and increased accessibility. Seven News Resource Type: Serial Publication (Periodical) Published: 1970 Seven News (7 News) was a community newspaper published in the area of Toronto east of downtown which at the time was known as Ward 7. Seven News was published from 1970 to 1985. Seven News is no longer publishing, but all issues of the paper have been scanned and are available on the Connexions website. Ward 7 covered the area of Toronto east of downtown, from Sherbourne Street to Logan Avenue, south of Bloor-Danforth, including Don Vale, Cabbagetown, Regent Park, Riverdale, St. Jamestown. Size matters: What Berlin’s rapid transit would look like in Toronto Resource Type: Article Published: 2014 Berlin has about 600,000 more people than Toronto and encompasses about 250 more square kilometers, so it's reasonable to expect there to be more subway lines. But not this many: Berlin has 25 subway and urban rail lines; Toronto has three – four, if you include the Scarborough RT. That's 403 kilometres of track in Berlin, compared to Toronto's 68.3 km. Stop TTC fare increase Resource Type: Article Published: 1979 Governments apply a double standard. They demand that public transit pay for itself and that health care and education be judged by 'cost-benefit' analyses. But they apply no such standard to industrial policy where billions of dollars are shelled out, supposedly to create jobs, even though in fact corporation are axing jobs, not creating them, while their profits continue to climb. The year it all went down the tubes for the TTC Resource Type: Article Published: 2016 Flack analyzes the provincial budget cuts imposed by the Mike Harris Conservatives and the resulting lack of funding that led to the Toronto Transit Commission having to increasingly rely on revenue from ridership to fund transit, leading to a decrease in customer satisfaction, a lack of opportunity for expansion, and general decline.
