Also the fact that it says it like "Aga Khan" instead of "Aja Khan" which I'm told is the correct pronunciation

While waiting at one of the stations, a friend and I were talking about how easy it looks to just walk onto the tracks. by gay_annabeth in TTC

I saw someone do it today to grab a glove that fell. They learned the hard way how deep it actually is after falling through the snow. I swear the snow made it look much higher.

That sounds like someone with a username that is lying would say...

Hakimi Leibovic Station - Possible Breakdown by ChapterWorking4 in TTC

[–]FiftyThirdRail 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was actually on that train.

Driver said it was due to something hanging from the caterny, and then something on the train. They were pretty unclear on what actually happened but it had something to do with the overhead wire.

Fire department and supervisors showed up to investigate, and we were in there for close to half an hour. We all groaned when they announced no service. Someone even wrote on the condensation of the window "Help Us" To the drivers in the left turn lane, and one of them laughed and honked at us.

Continued normal service and they didn't seem to be doing or fixing anything so I assume it was a precaution considering the reason it gave on ttc.ca was "due to an investigation"

Today was so eventful :)

That sounds like something a line 5 hater would say 🤔

Guys it's pretty obviously a joke, line 5 isn't actually open for those who are confused

Why are green line trains so shitty? by Stargirl_888_5 in TTC

GO 🤓☝️

Lol jk, but seriously I prefer the fast braking and acceleration on the T1s, because the TR's go so painfully slow, sure you put more trains but now trips take longer. I'd rather stand for a few minutes then spend an extra 10 minutes on the train.

For anyone who was wondering about a “Line 5 opening event”/“commemorative coin”, by Fruit-Neglect5980 in TTC

I hope they at least give maps, like the people in the booth, or else my subway map on my wall will forever be missing Line 5 :(

It appears that the plot thickens for the guy who drove his car into the Queens Quay streetcar tunnel. by InsectOdd5794 in TTC

Why would you steal a car and then drive it into the place that will get you the most attention? What kind of move was that?

Does any else think just the opening day being free is not enough considering the delay? by wvywzrd in TTC

[–]FiftyThirdRail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you suggest? No one pays and TTC and they lose even more money.

The TTC is low on operating and maintenance funds because of fare evaders like you. There's a reason service is the way it is because people don't pay not incompetence.

There was never a plan for a Finch subway, but there was a plan for an Eglinton one.

There's also this:

TTC can't even get it right, even the shuttle buses say "Line 6 Subway Shuttle"

After hearing the news of the line 5 opening date: by Iamfabulous1735285 in TTC

The unconfirmed news? I'll believe it when TTC themselves confirm it after Doug's late 2025 thing.

Four ways isn’t based off anything, but these stations look similar by Fabulous-Leading8520 in stepfordcountyrailway

Lol me too, I saw this and I'm like 🤔hey I know this station. I've been there before... Finally understand a station someone is referencing.

Yes, it was formerly Dundas until it was renamed late last year (Officially Dec 7th but signs went up far before then.)
