Per other's reporting, this isn't opening-day jitters primarily, it's the result of operational decisions made by the TTC (which means it's also not Doug Ford's fault.)

Skydome used to be surrounded by parking too. The problem with BMO Field is that the giant parking lot is owned by the city and, unlike private lots downtown, isn't susceptible to market forces.

Even under ideal conditions the streetcars seem to suffer from what seems to be apathy. TTC management not bothering to maintain the level of service it did in the past for no particular reason. Read this , explain it if you can
