Because of a vote (orchestrated by a real estate lobby) to defer a land transfer tax mechanism (which would be new tax) by city council  the TTC faces huge service cuts this year and next year or a fare increase of 25% this year to maintain service. All east-west service between Bloor and St. Clair will  be eliminated. Large blocks of the system would be hollowed out including between St. Clair, Bathurst. Bayview and Lawrence.
