Public transit ferried some extra passengers, but highways in the Greater Toronto Area seemed as busy as usual Monday as the city proclaimed its eighth annual Car Free Day. "Yes, there seems to be more people riding Go trains and buses today," said Ed Shea, manager of corporate communications for Go Transit.
Shea said ridership has increased enough to be noticeable for the past two or three years on Car Free Day, which is held in communities around the world.
But TTC spokesman Mike Detoma said there are so many variables on a day-to-day basis that they won't be able to tally the numbers until late next week.
