Before the pandemic, the Toronto Transit Commission was actively looking for ways to grow its ridership. Now, after taking a hit in numbers during the pandemic, it’s important to think about ways to recover, as we slowly vaccinate the city.<\/p>\n
TTC Commissioner and Councillor Shelley Carroll<\/a> speaks about a study she proposed to look at changing rider concerns, as well as the impact of ride-hailing services like Uber.<\/p>\n University of Toronto Professor Akawsi Owusu-Bempah<\/a> talks about a study<\/a> he co-authored, commissioned by the TTC, which shows Black and Indigenous people are disproportionately represented in interactions with fare enforcement and special constables, and what the service needs to do about it.<\/p>\n And, in celebration of Spacing’s latest Public Health Issue<\/a>, we talk to senior editor John Lorinc<\/a> about his story “Valuable Crap,” all about using sewage to detect community COVID-19 outbreaks.<\/p>\n Subscribe to the podcast on\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0Google Play<\/a>, or\u00a0SoundCloud<\/a>, or follow our\u00a0RSS feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
