This should make you furious as a TTC rider.

Please show up today to oppose Ford’s destruction! We’re here all day on Bloor near Islington.

Stay as long or as little as you’d like.

This will make the TTC buses far less reliable. I made a post on that already.

This needs to stop here and now.

Was riding line 2 westbound this afternoon when a small group of teens near Coxwell decided to force the train door open after it had already closed, despite the warnings from the operator over the intercom. The train door wouldn't close after this treatment until said operator came by and manually fixed it. She sternly told them to wait for the next train instead of charging the doors, and this one insufferable kid (I think the one who charged the door in the first place) loudly made some kind of rude comment at her as she turned to go back to her post.

This was a train that had already been experiencing a lot of standstills on its way from Main Street where I boarded, and I was frustrated. I spoke up and said "you do realize you just delayed an entire train full of people right?" He said something like "I don't care" while his (presumably) girlfriend giggled beside him. I said maybe one day when his brain develops he'll care lol. Said kid proceeded to pass around his vape to his friends on the train, then they got off two stations later.

This is my first time seeing such a disregard for etiquette on transit. Wtf are parents teaching their kids nowadays? I'm only in my early-mid-20s so I don't feel much older than these kids but it feels like they were raised in a completely different world without any rules or consequences. I guess that's what covid did huh?

I've been thinking about how important it is to make an effort to speak up and tell people when they are doing something wrong in public (if it seems safe to do so, ofc, protect yourself first). Hopefully this kid, despite his defensive "I don't care" to me, will think about the time that stranger told him his behaviour was shitty on transit before he tries charging the doors again... but maybe that's just wishful thinking

Because of the recent addition of the Scarborough Busway, I think there should be more busways in the future! Like a Dixon Busway. What are your thoughts on adding more busways in the future?

Below is an image of the display at King Station eastbound. It only shows the expected wait times for Subways, which anyway operate on a standard 2-5 min frequency. This stop caters to 503, 504, 508 and night streetcars which have erratic wait times due to bunching and gapping. TTC already has all this data, and it seems like a pure waste of digital real estate to not show it. Unless this is just a "pilot" however this display has been up for a while now so not sure what's the excuse.

This is on the 47- Lansdowne bus

This bus is fucking dog shit. Constantly doubled up with one packed and the other empty to create a 36m delay before the next bus.

What do you think about the extension project, do you think it will thrive given that the Metrolinx is under stress by the Provincial Government?

So when there is no streetcar detected, the traffic light goes back to old phrasing, which is left turn than green light

But when streetcar detected it will do green light first than left turn!

I've wondered why for the longest time why the Finch Hydro Corridor is just a long patch of grass with a tiny bike/walking path in the middle. I figured, why not use some more of that space?

Ergo, here is the Line 6 East Extension. It doesn't have many of the problems that plagued the construction of Line 6, and many of the problems with its operation, because there is so much less interaction with traffic and traffic lights. TSP shouldn't be a problem at all; it only crosses a handful of intersections, while keeping the majority of connectivity.

I'm sure this map can be picked apart in its current state (particularly with station placement and a bridge over G. Ross Lord might be a pain), but I think the concept is fun and potentially useful.

The MetroDreamin map terminates at McCowan, but it really doesn't have to. It could stop at Old Cummer, or even just at Yonge. I haven't seen much of this idea online, so I figured I'd try it for size.

Has 512 signal priority been turned on? I rode it today for the first time in a while and it felt a little faster

Wanted to acknowledge two positive actions I experienced on TTC yesterday.

First, several POOs were checking passenger tickets at Queens Quay and Union streetcar stations, although I could see some folks backtracking the entrance to Union once they saw the officers checking. So maybe having one officer stand at the back would catch those culprits.

Second, I heard the subway train driver announce the delay due to the slow down zone at Davisville which is helpful to improve awareness amongst readers.

If you drive the 100/54/954/162/191 and a customer is asking for directions: the 72 takes them directly to the door with the elevator entrance.
The station itself has no elevator for some years to come and the only one is across the street at the random entrance that is way outside the station. Please do not tell elderly or disabled people to walk around the large block and double cross. It’s dangerous and not necessary

I’m aware many drivers may not be on their regular route or may be RAD drivers so I try to let them know - but today I got yelled at by a 54 driver for trying to tell this old woman to take the 72. He told her to walk alll the way with her walker, yelled at me for trying to give correct directions, then 10 minutes later when my 72 bus left we drove by her and she was sitting in the walker CRYING

please tell fellow drivers so in the case that any customers ask, they can give effective directions. or if you notice customers “butting in” your convo please consider they might just know the right directions

before anyone suggests calling customer service: I tried but I give up they are too combative. My recent experiences are unrelated but I’ve called before about the directions issue

A big split is between home owners and renters.

With Lines 5, 6 and the Scarborough busway all recently opening, it feels like we're about to enter a dearth of new transit projects opening anytime soon. Probably not till after 2030.

Which project is going to open first?

- Line 5 Western extension
- Scarborough subway extension
- Yonge North Subway extension
- Ontario Line

Interesting that line 3 is still here

Hi everyone,

I was at Chester station and the train stopped for a security incident and I started hearing people say a guy started punching this woman and I come out of the train and I see 4-5 guys hold down this man and then the police came and took over and took him to custody. Anyone know what happened exactly?

Running the 102 Markham Road route today

So when I first joined Reddit, I made these two concepts, the Queensway LRT, and the Rexdale-Pearson Elevated LRT. They are somewhat old, like 25 days old and r/etobicoke was the only place I can showcase them because, well, the concepts are in Etobicoke- but I decided to show them to you guys! And see if they are doable or not, i would like to see your thoughts on it!

Guys, ik this is lowkey trivial compared to other important posts on here but today I lost my lululemon jacket, it’s a beige button up and had a black wireless earbuds in the pockets. I think it fell out of my bag around Saint Andrew station along king street and in and around bestco supermarket.
If anyone finds it please let me know. I’d really appreciate it. Here is a pic of what the jacket looks like but imagine it in beige color . Thank you

After a thorough analysis (staring at my ttc map poster while dissociating during my 15 min lecture break) i've curated a list of what first names and last names i think would be natural to give a baby based on the subway stops. i really put my heart and soul and 210 dollars a month towards my presto into this

for first names i was thinking: kennedy, victoria (last name park), pape, chester, castle (last name frank), bloor (last name younge), bay, spadina, bathurst, keele, jane, christie, hakimi (last name lebovic), aga (last name khan), chaplain, sloane, forest (last name hill), don (last name mills), leslie, sheppard (last name younge, you can be bloor younge's sibling!), finch, york (last name mils, you can be don mills sibling!), lawrence, wellesley, wilson, vaughan, emery, albion

for last names i was thinking: warden, woodbine, coxwell, greenwood, broadview, sherbourne, ossington, dufferin, landsdowne, runnymede, islington, kipling, ionview, birchmount, o'connor, wynford, laird, leaside, oakwood, fairbank, caldonia, bessarion, summerhill, st andrew, osgoode, st patrick, st george, dupont (personal fave), st clair, glencairn, lawrence west, yorkdale, stevenson, westmore

overall i feel like idk if you move to a totally random country and use the ttc map as baby name inspo i'd rank it an 7 out of 10 for first names and a 9 for last names
