Riders, if you ever wonder why your bus is delayed with either longer travel or wait times, this image below is the main reason why and the most common.
Complaining to your transit agency will not solve the problem unless you’re in favour or f prioritizing transit vehicles.
Analysis
I’ve done analysis on Mr. Bradford’s transit pledges and I will reiterate them again.
Follow along.
Having shovels in the ground by 2030 under our current planning rules is simply not doable unless Mr. Bradford find ways to speed up the process.
Previous transit projects from planning to shovels in the ground takes on average 5 years or more.

Transit signal priority means:
1) Extending a green light to allow a bus or streetcar before it turns amber
2) Shorten existing red lights for transit vehicles stopped.
3) If a bus or streetcar is seconds away, give it a green light so it doesn’t have to stop.
#LATEST: Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford says he plans to expand transit signal priority and signal pre-emption across the entire streetcar network, including the Crosstown LRT and Finch West LRT. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/10/…

Brad wants to pledge a 30 day action plan before any major events take place. This is realistic.
If Brad wants to faster streetcar service, he is going to have to tell TTC to remove internal speed restrictions for its streetcars. Eliminating some stops is a good first step.
