HALIFAX — Canadian cities should be nimble and prioritize service if they want to sustain and strengthen public transit systems in a time of declining rid
While cities like Montreal and Halifax are reducing bus routes to save money or deal with staff shortages, a transit and rail research consultant and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto says these decisions contribute to a transportation “death spiral.”
“Now I’m dealing with possibly being late to work or I’m worrying about child care, and who do I take it out on?” he said. Spray said that these reductions will permit transit to be more consistent and “allow passengers to better plan their trips, but it will also reduce workloads and stress for employees to improve retention.”
Last week, the Société de Transport de Montréal announced it was planning to reduce expenses by $18 million, but it said the cuts wouldn’t affect service.
