On Monday September 10, 2007, Councillor Michael Thompson hosted a Scarborough Public Consultation on TTC Service Cuts where a number of people spoke to exactly what some the above cuts and changes would mean for regular transit riders. For instance, if there is no bus service on Sunday, how can some transit-dependent folk get to their Sunday Church service? We Service on Sunday to get to Service on Sunday as the pastor of a church on Pharmacy Avenue put it on the proposed Sunday changes to the 67 Pharmacy route.
