It was even worse when I lived in the GTA.

depends where you live.
For me, Public transit seems to exist only for people to get to work or school and back.
outside of that, if you're not on a LRT route, it's useless.
outside of peak hours, the route closest to my house runs once per hour and only until 11:00.
