Description

Guest: Ben Spurr, the Star’s transportation reporter. It has been a terrible week for tragic events on public transit, with New York City dealing with a subway shooting, a murder outside of Sherbourne station and a woman getting pushed onto the tracks at Yonge station. While these are nightmare scenarios for any transit service, there are all kinds of incidents that occur every year on the TTC, and through a Freedom of Information request, the Star got the data on all of the incidents on the bus network over a five-year period and it tells exactly where the most crimes occurs and who the targets of it are. This episode was produced by Raju Mudhar and Matthew Hearn.
