Toronto Public Transit Service Pulse
Question 4 of 4 · Community conditions

Who lives near these transit conditions?

We place service conditions beside grouped population and access information. This can show who lives in an affected area, but it cannot show how any individual travels.

Available now: grouped population and local access information

Population, households, nearby stops, routes and named OpenStreetMap places can be explored today. They are not yet combined with historical reliability in one community comparison.

1

Start with a grouped area

Use a small Census area, called a dissemination area, as the population base.

2

Describe transit conditions

Keep regularity, availability and journey-time measures visible as separate evidence.

Do

State who lives in the affected area

Show the number and share of residents near a defined condition, with the area and time period clearly stated.

Compare carefully

Keep need and service separate

Population information should sit beside transit evidence so the role of each measure remains clear.

Avoid

Do not reduce communities to one score

A single score can hide important differences and make the result appear more certain than the evidence allows.
