Supervisors affirm revenue sharing as essential funding for growing school needs.

Transit services in Toronto and Vancouver have effectively managed the surge in ridership caused by the 2026 World Cup matches, despite initial fears of a 'transit apocalypse.' The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and TransLink faced challenges with crowds during key matches, including the Portugal vs. Croatia game in Toronto and the Canada vs. Switzerland match in Vancouver. Despite unpredictable attendance numbers, both systems adapted by adjusting routes, increasing frequency, and implementing real-time monitoring. Toronto reported a 43% increase in boardings during match days, while Vancouver saw its highest ridership since March 2020, with 1.4 million boardings on June 24. Officials highlighted the reliability of public transit, noting that it handled mass crowds efficiently, even on non-game days. Commuters praised the smooth operation, with many citing the systems as 'far more friendly' than alternatives like the London Underground. The success of these efforts has bolstered arguments for greater investment in transit infrastructure, as both cities aim to maintain this level of service for future events.
