TTC streetcar travels through downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on April 07, 2023. Since 2019, violence on the transit network has increased by 60 per cent, and more than 70 per cent of Ontarians have reported feeling less safe on public transit than they did a year ago. Self-defense classes to protect oneself onboard transit are now being offered to Torontonians, following a rise of violence across the transit system. Last month, a 16-year-old was fatally stabbed at Keele Station in what police called an 'unprovoked attack', the latest in a string of violent and seemingly random attacks on transit.
