Sporting events can often run until 10pm or later - If I use the trains, I usually am heading to Oakville. If I am lucky, there may be three trains within 90 minutes of the game ending (all hideously crowded), and are often full of drunken ass-hats you know are driving when they get off… But Richmond Hill? Vaughan? Hamilton? Further afield? Your train-line usually stops after the commuter rush, which explains why the highways are so awful
And as for TTC stopping at 0100, Bah - Most pubs and clubs are open later than that. While I don’t personally frequent them myself, I am reminded of growing up in the UK when you could generally still catch a bus or train after 0300 because many services ran all night. It also would also massively help those who work late shifts.
Toronto may have more subway stops than many American cities, but from a “serve the needs of the people” perspective, its transport system alone makes it a complete shit-hole to live in.
