The new Metronauts blog has really picked up steam recently. This week, I added a post about the TTC’s decision to cut parking perks to Metropass holders and if that was going to adversely affect the amount of people using transit instead of driving into the core:

The TTC’s plan to remove the parking perks is estimated to bring in about $3 million in net revenue — revenue that could, ideally, be put into building better feeder routes, investing in better bus service around commuter hub stations, and increasing subway service in heavy commuter areas.

Tomorrow’s vote, however, does not address those issues directly.

You can read the rest of the post here. If you’re interested in transportation issues in the Greater Toronto Area and not already subscribed to the Metronauts blog, I’d go over there and check it out — and even better, become a contributor!
