In fact the worst scheduled frequency for the Toronto subway of every 5-6 minutes, on the underused Sheppard line, is better than the best scheduled frequency for ION of every 10 minutes (ignoring overnight closures). At rush hour the main Toronto subway lines operate on a 2-3 minute frequency.
Yes, but what the TTC lacks is adherence to schedule. Urban Toronto of late is full of stories of people waiting more than 10 minutes for the subway due to bunching. It used to be just their street cars, but now its also commonly their trains. ION is never as fast as we think it should be, but it has an uncanny knack for hitting its schedule points that I truly appreciate.
