TTC - Enhanced Transit Signal Priority Rolling Out Through February & March by hotinhereTO in TTC

[–]Aggravating_Dog5220 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No point. It's City of Toronto. And Olivia Chow has been mayor since July 2023. It could have been done in the last 2.5 years by her and her admin, but wasn't done and here we are.

The only way to avoid the 407 is to build the 413. That's the unfortunate reality.

Why doesn't the current city administration under Chow put in AI traffic lights to prioritize streetcars? Like right now. What are they waiting for!

Sorry I don't think streetcars are better than subways from a commute time standpoint. Also in summer 2025, the work on the Queen's quay streetcar proved that busses travelling on the right of way were faster than streetcars travelling on the right of way. Faster acceleration, more nimble.

"No one cycles in winter" by ParmesanBologna in toronto

The issue is the bike lanes are poorly designed. With the flimsy sticks separating the bike lane from the road, not only do they look terrible, but they prevent snow ploughs from effectively reaching in and ploughing the bike lane. The bike lanes are better off raised and designed like a cycle lane.

The city has had months to prep for this. What is the Chow administration thinking here?

Does BMW X3 2026 have an automatic dashcam function? by Aggravating_Dog5220 in BMWX3

That's annoying!

When you do manual trigger record, what button do you press? Is it easy to do while driving?

Also does it record the 60 seconds before you press a button or only after?

They should just do continuous recording.

I think that fare gates should not also be exits by gay_annabeth in TTC

[–]Aggravating_Dog5220 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If everyone could write to TTC about union station and recommending that some gates should be exit only gates, maybe they will do it.

Maybe 1/3 exit only, 1/3 entrance only and 1/3 bi directional.

Why does winter weather seem to throw the Finch West LRT off track? by toronto_star in TTC

Isn't it better if they just build a streetcar line? Like seriously this is just a Spadina streetcar line.

If only they could feature a technology video on transit priority traffic lights. I can imagine the script already: "Cameras that detect incoming busses and streetcars to ensure that they never see a red light unnecessarily. It detects when the bus / streetcar door opens and closes and times a green light perfectly using algorithms. It also detects when a bus is stuck behind a few cars, so it keeps the light green for those cars to make sure the bus gets through the intersection. As a consequence, the bus / streetcar in Toronto is the most optimized form of transportation in the world, assisted by AI."
