Toronto TTC Safety: Riders' Worries vs. Falling Crime

Councillor Brad Bradford proposes a comprehensive safety plan for Torontos TTC subway, including better lighting, cleaning, a safety audit, platform edge doors, and police presence. Despite falling crime stats, riders express safety concerns. Council members and TTC leaders question the feasibility of police deployment due to budget constraints. Bradford also advocates for a ten-year funding plan for platform edge doors, which could prevent suicides and trespassing but face budget backlogs. Experts emphasize the need for a multi-faceted approach to safety, not just increased enforcement. As Bradford considers a mayoral run, the debate underscores the disparity between crime statistics and rider anxieties on Torontos aging transit system.
