TTC’s Latest Findings
The latest findings show that since October 2023, customer satisfaction with safety on the TTC has increased seven points (61%), with overall satisfaction among subway users up five points (71%).

The data further reveals since last October, 69% of customers reported ease of receiving assistance when needed, marking a five-point improvement.
Additionally, satisfaction with staff helpfulness scores rose by six points to 65%, and overall pride in the TTC increased by five points to 61%.
Every month, the TTC surveys 500 customers, measuring overall satisfaction levels across all modes, as well as specific customer satisfaction aspects, such as safety, comfort, cleanliness, staff helpfulness, information, and ease of use.
Findings are published monthly in the TTC CEO Report and presented to the TTC Board.
