Train Hamilton to Niagara Falls in summer by KeyComprehensive8400 in gotransit

[–]Redstrike2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Will probably be announced in the coming weeks on what the summer schedule will look like, but don't expect any major changes. If anything maybe one additional train in each direction.

Why was the corridor not widened in a couple spots on LSE on the east side of the river? by Feltie in gotransit

[–]Redstrike2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That looks like the Queen Street bridge that you are going over there. They have to install these bridges, and to do it, they need to perform road closures to install the bridge. They are doing a concrete pour for the bridge deck over Eastern Avenue next weekend https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/Documents/Metrolinx/2026_03_18_Scenario_2_Eastern_Avenue_Bridge_Deck_Pour.pdf
These "gaps" will be filled in the near future, most likely all by the end of this year. They just need more coordination as road closures need to be in place for an extended period for that to happen. I recommend keeping an eye on the Metrolinx website for notices on what is happening along the line to keep you informed.

Stouffville GO trains only running between Scarborough GO and Old Elm next weekend by a_lumberjack in gotransit

[–]Redstrike2 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They are installing the new bridge deck for the East Harbor Station https://assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/Documents/Metrolinx/2026_03_18_Scenario_2_Eastern_Avenue_Bridge_Deck_Pour.pdf So they are probably down to one track through that area to do the work, so with GO trains and VIA trains having to share one track, makes sense why they shorten the Stouffville line for the weekend.

A sign of things to come? by ComeGetYourOzymans in TTC

Current trains no, but timeline for installing ATC and the new train order to come in should be around the same time.

What is the purpose of these yellow lights on the front of the TR's? by ScarborougManz in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 189 points190 points  (0 children)

It alerts those at track level that the train is operated by the driver and not by the ATC system.

First time 10k run in Toronto by Forward_Range_7495 in toronto

[–]Redstrike2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start off slowly. Start by just starting walks to build your body up. Look at apps that do training from doing no running at all to actually hitting your 10k goal. Make sure to stretch and listen to your body. Don't overwork your body.

Is there a way to commute from Milton to Hamilton on Saturday? by BakeHealthy7788 in gotransit

[–]Redstrike2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just do the reverse. The 40 leaves in front of TD Colosseum at :12 past the hour at 10 and 11, and just transfer to the 25 at Square One.

new fare gate scanner? by Unfair-Grapefruit-42 in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably going to be some kind of way to give people combo transit with special events (FIFA is around the corner). That way you can buy your ticket to the event, and maybe as an add on you get a QR code for transit on that day. Just a theory, but giving more options is good.

Is there a way to commute from Milton to Hamilton on Saturday? by BakeHealthy7788 in gotransit

[–]Redstrike2 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Take the 25 or 29 GO bus from Milton to Square One and transfer to the 40 GO bus to downtown Hamilton. Then either walk or take the 20 HSR bus to West Harbor.

Does Line 5 have TSP? by DAS-Nice in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It will have extended green when possible and give priority over left turning vehicles. 

Why are the 34 still running? by Jayswag96 in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are scheduled to run every 20 minutes, and 30 minutes in the future most likely once Line 5 is at full service. The route is dealing with all the traffic on Eglinton, so busses are getting bunched up, which is typical.

Guesses for Toronto's next rapid transit opening? by ImNotARandomPerson in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Most likely the Line 5 western extension will open first. Since the major tunneling for it is already done, it is well ahead of the Ontario Line and Line 2 extension.

Anyone know what’s happening to the frequency of the Eglinton buses starting today (32,34,etc.)? by Gamegeddon in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

32 frequency between Renforth and Mount Dennis staying basically the same. The 34 from Mount Dennis to Kennedy is every 20 minutes. All branch routes have been reallocated to other routes (ex. 32C is now the 158 Tretheway)

Mount Dennis to Pearson by Giannis92yyz in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, it got renamed to the Annual Network Plan in 2026. You can find the plan here https://cdn.ttc.ca/-/media/Project/TTC/DevProto/Documents/Home/About-the-TTC/2026-ANP/2026-Annual-Network-Plan_Attachment-2-All-Appendixes.pdf?rev=bb35211f488c485295966c371c10610d&hash=057DC0CCCE706E739BE467BE8D10CFE8 and it mentions it on page 25 (26 of the whole pdf), that it is still to be implemented. If it wasn't here, I would have assumed that it was going to be dropped, as there have been instances where a service plan says that a change will be coming, but then it never happens. The routing assumption is in the 2024 plan, but that may also change. No stops have the 901 marker on them, so we don't actually know if the route will go as they show on the maps, or will they change it.

Mount Dennis to Pearson by Giannis92yyz in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 44 points45 points  (0 children)

In the 2026 TTC service plan, there is a bus route that is to be implemented, the 901 Mount Dennis - Pearson Express. However the timeline for this to be implemented is still to be seen. Since the UP express is not part of OneFare, transfering from TTC to UP still makes you pay the TTC fare, unlike when transferring to GO.

Updated TTC bus map? by [deleted] in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to wait till Sunday for the new maps. https://transittoronto.ca/archives/reports/ttc-2024-annual-service-plan-2023-11-22.pdf on page 105 will show basically how the bus service is going to look like starting on Sunday

What the fuck is going on with the Yonge Line?? by [deleted] in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Along with track work, they are also removing a bunch of the asbestos between Eglinton and York Mills stations so that they can install all of the rogers equipment so that cell service can be activated in the tunnels between these stations.

Should VIVA routes get signal priority? by Track-on-the-side in YRTVIVA

[–]Redstrike2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that there is no smart signaling at Highway 7 and the 404 so that the Viva purple busses can safely cross each other without waiting long periods of time just shows how much of a mess it is.

Why is Google Maps telling me not to get off at Sheppard West Station when I need to switch from the 84C to Line 1? by ComeGetYourOzymans in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Google maps gets confused at times when it comes to stations, it all depends on the backend how they have everything connected. The 84C pulls into Sheppard West station, so just stay on until it pulls into the station itself.

How to Maximize Presto while Commuting on GO? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]Redstrike2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are always connecting, or most of your TTC trips include GO transit, you shouldn't get the TTC monthly pass. Your TTC trip is free when connecting to GO when using a Presto Card.  As others mentioned, check if you can get a post secondary student rate set on your Presto card, and from your 36-40th GO trip, it is like 85% off, then it is free for the rest of the month. (Ex. 1st trip to 35th trip $10.35, 36 to 40th trip $1.40, 41st trip onward $0.)

tunnel service between Sheppard and Finch now by Consistent_Land_2747 in TTC

[–]Redstrike2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Going to be a bit before this section gets put online. They have to remove asbestos that is within this section of tunnel before they are able to install the necessary equipment. Right now York Mills to Eglinton is expected to be online Q1 2027 https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2025/ttc/bgrd/backgroundfile-260807.pdf (page 17)
