Many local residents and the TTC board chair agree: Scarborough needs better transit. 🚇
The Green Line’s analysis shows that Torontonians are not impacted by lack of transit access equally. On average, the more racialized a Toronto ward is, the fewer subway stops that ward has - and Scarborough is the most racialized part of our city.
#TheGreenLineTO engagement reporter James Westman chatted with Scarborough commuters about their experiences with the TTC that sometimes leave them waiting for over an hour. He also spoke to Jamaal Myers (TTC Board Chair and Scarborough North city councillor), Ignacio Tiznado-Aitken (postdoctoral fellow in human geography at University of Toronto Scarborough) and Austin Jafri (TTCriders spokesperson).

The federal, provincial, and municipal governments need to see this and fund more transit 🙏 Thank you Green Line for making sure everyone's voices are heard, keep it up!

Great video. People often ignore the still real racial divide that exists for transit expansion, while we are still experiencing the effects of inequities in transit.

So first it was building highways was an effort to segregate and marginalize communities. Now it’s subways that are built to marginalize communities. Which is it? Now you don’t want subways?

I don't see a contradiction here. There is clear and documented evidence that NA highways were intentionally built along certain routes to segregate and displace certain communities. It's also fairly obvious that shutting down a sound transit project similar to projects executed elsewhere in the same city that greatly improved transit in order to implement a boondoggle project that was obviously designed to fail while keeping those segregating highways intact was at least in part about maintaining the status quo in the segregating of those communities. It's a pretty straightforward conclusion.
