Canada’s Transit Crisis: Crime, Chaos & Costs

Canada’s transit systems are spiraling — violent incidents, unreliable service, collapsing ridership, and billions spent with little improvement to show for it. In this episode, we break down what’s really happening underground and across our cities.

Host Paul Micucci (True Patriot Love) sits down with Nick Dolinski and Christoph Smith, daily transit riders and commentators on urban safety, to dissect why crime is rising on transit, why infrastructure is failing, and what cities must do before riders abandon the system entirely.

In this episode, we cover:

• The rise of violence, stabbings, and mental-health crises on Canadian transit
• Why riders feel unsafe — and why police presence isn’t a simple fix
• How massive infrastructure spending isn’t translating into reliable service
• Toronto’s collapsing ridership and the $24B cost problem
• Lessons from global cities with far better transit systems
