## Resource

Toronto’s transit agency just wiped the books clean on nearly $6 million in unpaid rent from subway station businesses—mostly hit hard by pandemic shutdowns. Two major players, Gateway Market Canada and Tobmar Investments, went bust after ridership plummeted, while smaller shops also got relief. Despite hopes that office returns would revive transit, ridership remains below pre-pandemic levels. The TTC is now hunting for new tenants to fill the void—warning this kind of debt shouldn’t recur unless another crisis strikes.
