the report pointed out that the importance of the original "demand generators" for overnight public transit had declined. nightly demand was now twice as heavy on weekends as on weekdays, showing that not many people were using transit to get to night work. and as metro had grown, only 45% of its population still lived within a 15-minute walk of the existing 24-hour transit routes. in fact, hardly any of the 14 overnight routes then in existence were strictly justified by demand any more, particularly on weekdays. but since "one of the ttc's primary goals is to maximize mobility and accessibility to transit service", the report's recommendation was to redesign the system, not eliminate it.
