The TTC will formally reduce the frequency of its bus, streetcar, and subway operations next week in a set of sweeping and historic service cuts brought on by the COVID-19 crisis. The cuts will affect more than 120 bus and streetcar routes, as well as the agency’s two main subway lines. Almost all 900-series express bus routes are being suspended, but the TTC will continue to operate local service along affected lines. Despite the agency suffering staggering losses, Green said the service cuts coming May 10 are not a cost-saving measure. Shelagh Pizey-Allen, executive director of transit advocacy group TTCriders, said instituting service cuts now could exacerbate crowding and put passengers at risk.
