Transit access screening

Can residents reach frequent bus service when they need it?

Compare estimated access to any mapped bus stop with access to frequent scheduled bus service at different times of day.

Loading scheduled access estimates…

Frequent means at least six scheduled arrivals per hour during the selected period. This is scheduled service, not a measure of whether buses arrived on time.

About the data

Scheduled service comes from the TTC GTFS feed. Population context comes from the 2021 Census. Frequent service is six scheduled arrivals per hour.

Your privacy matters

Nearby census areas are grouped before publication. No address searches, selected locations or household points are stored.

Read the privacy approach

Read this as a screen

This is an estimated proximity screen, not a finding of inadequate service. Barriers, stop conditions, reliability and destination reach require more evidence.

How it works

A useful first look, with clear limits.

Group small areas

Nearby census areas are combined. Areas below the privacy threshold stay grey and do not show local values.

Find frequent service

A stop qualifies only when the public TTC schedule shows at least six bus arrivals per hour during the selected period.

Estimate nearby access

Population is assigned to census-area reference points and compared with an 800-metre walking screen. Results are rounded ranges.

Test one example

The selected-area example uses the OSM pedestrian network, but it is generalized and does not represent a particular resident.
