Funny that you mention Montreal. Their transit system is among the more efficient ones (57%)...

If that's an improvement, that's good to see. My reference was to the time I lived in Montreal - when the the transit system was plagued by work-stoppages and wildcat strikes.

Funny that you mention Montreal. Their transit system is among the more efficient ones (57%), though not as efficient as the TTC (75%). Conservative Atlanta has one of the lowest for a big city (32%), and Ottawa, which lordmandeep seems to think is less dragged down by unions, is somewhere in between (43%).

The TTC is second to none in North America when it comes to operating efficiency, and if you include regional commuter systems, GO Transit is on top. So Toronto leads the continent for both local and regional transit. You're right, not bad for a city run by socialists.

That GO and the TTC can recoup such a high proportion of costs probably means that service is not where it should be... not something to be proud of.

Very interesting way of looking at it ...

Absolutely! The TTC is running on ancient fare revenue technology, has seen minimal system expansion, has expensive monthly passes, and the overwhelming majority of people can not walk to a subway station, even in older parts of the city.

I have to agree with you yet again.

TTC is inefficient and old. Much poorer European cities have better transit systems. I hate the TTC.
