Long public transit times to downtown and high electricity bills are big issues with voters, along with a push for better local health care and concerns about expensive car insurance rates in Scarborough. Aijaz Syed, who has Shan and Cho signs in his front yard, says they don’t necessarily signify support. “Access to rapid transit is critical for many communities, both for the time they need to spend with their families . From Morningside Heights in the northeastern part of the riding, getting downtown can take two hours with transfers from bus to bus and the Scarborough Rapid Transit line to the subway. We need to come up with good solid rapid transit infrastructure,” he adds.
