The TTC board is set to discuss the creation of an "on-demand ride-sharing service" at its Wednesday meeting. The TTC says ride-sharing services could complement its traditional network in areas where it doesn't make sense to operate large transit vehicles like streetcars. TTC riders respondTransit riders say they'd be happy to see the TTC provide more options for getting around. "I can certainly expect it to be more than, you know, three bucks for a ride downtown," said Elizabeth Tapley, who uses the UberPOOL ride-sharing service. But the report also cautions that putting more ride-sharing services on the road could increase congestion, and if they expanded to include larger vehicles, ride-sharing could cut into TTC ridership and revenue.
