Toronto higher job concentration than Chicago? Somehow I doubt it. TTC subway network is also not really designed for higher concentration of workers to begin with, being more grid-based compared to the more hub-and-spoke design of the Chicago L. Furthermore, where the ridership gap between the two cities is widest is not in their downtown heavy rail networks but in their outer suburban bus networks: TTC Subway has two times higher ridership than CTA L, while MiWay, Brampton Transit, York Region Transit, Oakville Transit have eight times higher ridership than Pace (approximately 128 million boardings serving a population of 2.5 million vs. 33 million boardings serving a population of 5 million in 2019).

A two times difference versus an eight times difference. Is this really about the amount of jobs or freeways downtown? Think about that.
