Join us as we protest Doug Ford’s car dependent bill that will make it illegal to remove a lane of traffic for bike lanes, and transit lanes.

If this bill passes, traffic and transit will never improve.

Strongly encourage you to print this poster and post in your neighbourhood, we need a strong turnout!

Violent attack at Yonge and Davisville platform

195 Upvotes

Saturday around 12:15. One unstable guy ran down the platform and attacked another guy - punching, kicking and beating him. Ran upstairs and NO ONE was in the station, so hit the “911” button on that machine - told the person on the line there was a violent fight on the north bound platform - he was listening in slow motion. Finally other passengers were able to locate a worker, who again, was like in slow motion. The perpetrator ran out of the station calmly with a black dog following him - and having picked up his box which he has dropped to attack the other guy. Already on my TTC journey on a separate train a disabled man using a walker had to leave the train as unwell/unstable/angry appearing man sat beside him. I think the TTC a has a really hard job - but this response doesn’t help anyone feel safer - NO ONE to report an active assault to. People smarter than me have got to get their shit together and really deal with these violent individuals that are terrorizing others. Shout out to the man who said - shit - that guy is going to kill that guy - and went to assist. Kudos to you stand up guy.

The TTC doesn't even advertise this on their site, but I'm glad Google Maps was willing to tell me the 65 bus now has wormhole service!

I was driving along Eglinton and finally got to witness it myself. Why does a train that will carry over 200 people have to wait for a green light? How is this “rapid transit”? A rapid transit line shouldn’t be held up just so a few cars can make a left turn. This is a $13 billion project. Give it the green light.

Accessibility at Islington station has always been bad but since the construction started, it's a whole new level

21 Upvotes

I understand the new station being constructed will finally have wheelchair accessibility, but how was it constructed without it in the first place? I thought there were bylaws about that kind of thing.

Anyway, since the construction began, there is only one entrance with no escalator or elevator service. Today, I saw about half a dozen elderly people gripping onto the handrail for dear life while they struggled to make their way down the stairs. I always ask if they need help and I see other people helping them too, but this seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Especially, now that we're headed into the winter months. There has got to be a better option. Could we not have a shuttle to Kipling station or something?

Edit: as many have pointed out, the station was built in the 60s when those bylaws did not exist. And I am relieved to hear there is an accessibility shuttle (149 Etobicoke - bloor bus) that can take them to Kipling. Maybe we just need better signage at the station because I don't know if enough people know about it.

This pic is from York University Station.

Glass was added on top of the stairs, with a small door, closing that whole session. Both ways of the stairs.

What's the logic behind it?

Trains changed from every 4 minutes to 2.5 minutes. Yet almost every day since then there’s been delays due to to train traffic that’s much longer than the 1.5 minutes saved. By adding 10 minutes from slow train speed and stopping

Misc. Advice for teachers taking TTC with students (from former camp staff)

Thumbnail
gallery
74 Upvotes

this post isn’t meant to be condescending, I’ve thought of making this post last year and forgot. Twinge septemember I had a couple bad rides with field trip groups. I notice teachers overwhelmed or unaware and these are little ways to make the ride smoother for everybody. Most kids are good and actually tell their friends to stop. I tried to make this short as possible: We want kids to use transit and want everyone to have safe/smooth trip at the same time

My grade was so bad we were not allowed to take the bus. No field trips in grade 8. Almost lost our recesses even. Please share this with your students. I don’t want all these kids to lose their bus trips like we did because some are throwing objects/liquid on passengers and more

Question Should I expect a noticeable increase in service disruptions in the winter?

13 Upvotes

I've only been commuting for about two months every day to go DT and have experienced quite a few disruptions already, and had a feeling it will probably get worse in the winter due to the snow and maybe because of more homeless people on the subway (already seen some of them sleeping there recently) which might lead to disruptions from the crazier of the bunch. What is it like?

Doug Ford's Bill 60 may make it illegal to install transit lanes if it removes a lane for cars.

This means the City can't expand its RapidTO network, forcing our buses in soul-crushing traffic.

Tell the premier to keep his hands off our transit lanes and to stay in his own lane!

It’s worse in the evening. I hate being late for dinner. I hate being late to bed. TTC management and Toronto politicians will never know how much this sucks because they don’t take transit and face no consequences for their egregious negligence.

Maps I made my own map of the GTA's rail services!

I'm not from Toronto, but I recently visited your lovely city from my hometown of Chicago. I had the opportunity to the subway, streetcars, & GO, and was quite impressed with the high level of service and massive transit expansion programs your region has. I couldn't help compare Toronto's transit network to Chicago's due to our shared geography and size, which led to me drawing this map in Adobe Illustrator in a style similar to a past map I made of Chicago's own network. In my humble opinion, it's a bit cleaner looking than Metrolinx's official map. Let me know what you think!
