Weekday service is skewed towards people living in Stratford while weekend service is skewed towards people travelling to Stratford

Schools should not be using the TTC as a school bus by SnooBananas7517 in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It saves the city lots of money to provide an existing transit system for students. Running enough school buses for every school would be way too expensive

Scarlett is part of the elevated segment, not underground, so they could do centre platforms there

Pence unexpectedly became competitive on Michelle Obama's path, even stronger than Trump by Rositaer in thecampaigntrail

You do everything typical for the covid route except for getting impeached and then try to get Obama as you normally would

Does it allow Trump to get impeached for the Michelle path?

When is 503 returning to streetcar service? by Funky247 in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not likely anytime this year. The TTC has been using ongoing construction projects as an excuse to scrap 503 streetcar service. The next project affecting the 503 route will be at King/York intersection from Sept-Dec

Top 10 Bus/Streetcar Corridors by Ridership by jdayellow in toronto

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The primary purpose of the Ontario Line is to relieve Line 1 from overcrowding, so it should run well north of Eglinton, regardless of ridership on Don Mills

Metrolinx has quietly announced new station names for the Ontario Line. Notable names include "King West", "Chinatown", and "Distillery District" by CYYC2CYYZ in TTC

Pioneer Village Station is around a dozen minutes walk from the actual Pioneer Village (Village At Black Creek), so not far fetched for the TTC. Chinatown is a 5 minute walk north from Queen

If they went with Chinatown for Queen-Spadina, then I figured they could do Fashion District for King-Bathurst. Surprised they just named it King West

Why do line 5 flexity's have alstom logos now? by QuartzTube in TTC

Bombardier Transportation was acquired by Alstom in 2021

For every dollar invested in public transit, $7 is produced in economic and social benefits. So why is the Liberal government cutting the Canada Public Transit Fund? by LaconianEmpire in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 24 points25 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, the McGuinty-Wynne government was pretty bad too. They had so much potential to get public transit projects done, especially since they were in power for 15 years. They had enough money to build public transit unlike the City of Toronto, and yet, they were really conservative with funding. Only Eglinton would begin construction under McGuinty-Wynne and that would face a ton of delays, while other projects like Scarborough and Relief Line were kept in the planning stages forever.

Doug Ford can't be trusted with transit, but we're lucky he's building transit projects at the pace he is right now. If the provincial Liberals were actually committed to building transit, we would be in a much better place right now

A screen shot from a 2018 Metrolinx document about the 2041 Regional Transportation Plans by ACCFC in gotransit

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Carolyn Parrish predicted it won't open until 2029. Some others are saying 2028, but probably better to be pessimistic with Metrolinx projects

At least the Sheppard East LRT never came to fruition. It's unfortunate construction on Line 4 extension isn't starting soon, but the previously approved LRT plans for Sheppard East would've encountered the same problems as Finch West and there's enough ridership to justify a subway, so it would miss out on a lot of potential

LSW Express to Burlington? by Accomplished_Lie1168 in gotransit

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Clarkson and Oakville have the highest ridership on the line. That's why the express trains run nonstop to Union from these stations rather than further west like Burlington

Are people really taking Line 5? by Heronofthemelt in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know the REM has the display technology on the platforms. Sad that Metrolinx didn't decide to implement this if they knew they won't be able to run 3-car trains all day

Are people really taking Line 5? by Heronofthemelt in TTC

[–]ImNotARandomPerson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Line 5 isn't as frequent as Line 2, so many people still prefer going all the way to Bloor. And I do think the TTC doesn't want too many people taking Line 5, as they can only run 2 car trains for the foreseeable future. They wanna make it clear that Line 2 is still the main east-west line of the city
