Transit’s Lost Decade:

How Paying More for Less is Killing Public Transit

A report prepared by And The Rocket Riders Transit User Group

About the Rocket Riders:

The Rocket Riders Transit Users Group is made up of users and supporters of public transit in the Greater area.

Our Mission is to support the efforts of the TTC and other transit authorities to provide a wide range of high quality, cost-efficient transit services during a time of massive financial cutbacks. We are concerned with public safety, public education, educating municipal policy-makers and the business community, as well as maintaining and/or increasing funding available to transit.

The Rocket Riders are a caucus of the Toronto Environmental Alliance.

Toronto’s transit system is in sorry shape. A quick comparison with the year 1990 shows ridership is down nearly 10%, fares have doubled in some cases, and most importantly the quality of bus and streetcar service has markedly dropped. Serious problems have also emerged for the Wheel-Trans system. In short we are paying more and getting less.

Reduced funding from the provincial and municipal governments has been the main problem in the lost decade. Funding to operate the Toronto Transit Commission has fallen from $250 million to $152 million. The TTC is now more reliant on fare box revenue than any system in the developed world.

This report explores three impacts of funding cuts: poor service; lack of accessibility; and overpricing.

The report concludes by developing recommendations for action for Toronto City Council and the TTC.

1. Poor Service.

Overcrowding, lengthening waits, by-passes (whereby a too-full vehicles literally passes by waiting riders) show that the TTC is leaving passengers out in the cold. Poor service is the direct result having fewer vehicles on the road. Bus and streetcar service have dropped 10 and 20 percent respectively since 1990. This translates into more crowded vehicles, longer waits and riders abandoning transit for private vehicles.

The decline in service can be expressed several ways. When aggregated we can see that over the course of an entire year streetcar service has dropped from 9,454 miles/yr to 7,954 miles/yr (see table below.) This 20% cut represents an average. Experience on the street at certain times of day can be much worse. The College/Carleton streetcar offers less than 2/3rds as much service during morning rush hour as it did a decade ago.

Less frequent service is less robust. Small delays because of traffic or boarding problems are exacerbated as more riders arrive at each subsequent stop, than would be the case if service were more frequent. Thus, a route which is slightly underserviced will experience very wide and frequent swings in reliability. The rider doesn’t experience an addition of one or two minutes to the headway. The rider experiences unreliable service, with unpredictable gaps which are often quite longer than scheduled. Miles of Street Car Service/Year

2. Overpricing

While funding cuts to transit service have roughly twice the effect on ridership as fares do, the dramatic increase in fares over the last decade has certainly had an effect on ridership. TTC fares have doubled in some categories since 1990, placing an unfair burden on low-income individuals and families who are often the most transit-dependent. Fare hikes also have the effect of pushing people out of transit and into cars. TTC Fares 1989 1990 2001 ADULT TICKET/TOKEN 8/$7.50 8/$8.00 5/$9.00 COST per TICKET/TOKEN $0.94 $1.00 $1.80 CASH $1.10 $1.20 $2.25 METROPASS $49.00 $53.00 $93.50

Lack of Accessibility.

Funding cuts have an impact on the Wheel-Trans system. The Wheel trans system is capable of delivering 5,000 rides per day. Almost all of these are two-way tips. In effect Wheel Trans accommodates 2,500 riders per day. This capacity has not been growing while the number of registered Wheel Trans riders has been growing quickly. In the mid 90’s after the TTC established a strict eligibility criteria and testing protocol the registrant base was 12,000. At present there are 27,000 registrants: an amount that is expected to grow by 2000 annually. This has several effects. First, same day bookings become more difficult if not impossible to arrange as riders are forced to compete to be the first to get through to a reservationist competing for basic transportation trips as if they were concert tickets. Second, the frequency with which no ride is available is rising. The TTC aims to have an unaccommodated rate of 2% of all requests. In 2001 the rate rose to 4.1%. An unaccommodated ride can mean a lost day of work or a missed doctor’s appointment. Finally, unlike passengers on the regular TTC system Wheel Trans Riders often have few options (including expensive taxi-rides) meaning that a missed or delayed trip is an absolute restriction on mobility. While fares are a relatively small portion of the cost of Wheel Trans, fare increases have a very large impact. A large number of Wheel Trans riders are unemployed or paid minimal wages.

Recommendations:

1. Keep fares low, service high: The Toronto Transit Commission should refrain from any service cuts and keep the fare hike as low as possible by using all of their reserve fund in 2002.

2. Expand funding: The City of Toronto and the provincial government must both renew their commitment to funding the TTC operating budget. Following the 1998 fare increase the city made a commitment that it would fund at least 20% of the operating cost of the TTC. That commitment has not been honoured to date. The province used to provide 50% of the cost of operating the TTC. At present it provides no operating funding making the TTC the only major transit system in the developed world to fund regular operations funded entirely from the property tax base and the fare box.

3. Plan for suceess: The TTC’s budget submission for 2003 should include a “Need to Succeed” plan which identifies how to: • Attract new riders; • Provide high quality service; • Freeze regular fares while exploring more attractive pass alternatives such as a weekly pass or better discounts on the MetroPass.

By Steve Munro

1. All figures are stated in thousands of miles because TTC publishes data in this format. Total vehicle mileage is also shown in kilometers for comparison with a separate spreadsheet provided by TTC.

2. Articulated bus and streetcar mileages are adjusted by a factor of 1.5, where individual source data are available, to state the service operated in an “equivalent to standard vehicle” capacity.

3. For years where separate mileages are available for all modes, these are shown. After 1992, streetcar mileage was consolidated. To permit continued comparison of effective service mileage, an adjustment was made as follows:

Adjusted Mileage = Actual Mileage * (1992 Adjusted Mileage / 1992 Base Mileage)

This adjustment assumes that the ratio of ALRV to CLRV mileage remained fairly static. Since the relative use of ALRVs actually dropped, this adjustment overstates the effective mileage.

4. For the purpose of comparison, the mileage attributable to the Spadina car is deducted from the adjusted total from August 1998 onward at an annualized rate of 660,000 miles. This allows direct comparison of the level of service on the streetcar network as it existed in 1990 and that in 2001. This mileage is estimated from the 2000 service level of 2,200 miles per weekday, pro-rated to years on the basis that annual values tend to be about 300 times those of weekday values.

5. Although system vehicle mileages in 2001 and 1990 are comparable (at about 120-million), this masks the fact that surface mileage, especially on the streetcar system, has fallen while that on the subway and SRT has risen. A small change in rapid transit service translates to a large number of car miles because of the multi-car trains and the higher operating speeds.

6. Subway train mileage up to 1990 is slightly overstated because some 8-car trains were still in use at the time, and the conversion from reported car miles to train miles is based on 6-car trains. However, the system total vehicle mileage is correct.
