Def enjoyed my blizzard much less after finding red, almost invisible macro-plastic mixed in with the Oreos.

The future eastern terminus for Line 4 is something that is discussed at length in transit spaces. From the options presented by Metrolinx, the major conscious puts 2A (Sheppard & McCowan) or 2B (Scarborough Centre) as the most popular routes.

The first poll took place on r/Metrolinx and includes 864 votes
The second poll took place on r/Scarborough and includes 346 votes

We gotta be creative!

(And nature is our best friend)

The streetcar network, despite facing the harshest criticisms and existential crises, has had the highest ridership growth out of the entire TTC network, at 6% vs 2024

The WELRT (which is just a fancy name for a 509 harbourfront east extension) has been given 3 billion in funding! The network is GROWING, along with the ridership!

This is good news, but we have a looooong way before streetcars are considered reliable and rapid. The growth is likely centred on downtown core population growth rather than people willingly choosing to take the streetcar.

Ridership patterns in downtown, where streetcars are king, will drastically change with the opening of the Ontario Line. We will see sharp decreases on east-west routes in the core, and the network MUST be ready to compete where the subway cannot

When marketing tries to be overly relatable especially to the youth and social media trends, also using the world genuinely (how ironic), it really just comes off as immature and cringe especially to me as a younger person

This is about the age where you get your first card

I’m tryna find out if that’s in USD or CAD, because dammmm??? 👀

The TTC has had its glory days when streetcars ruled the roads. Unfortunately, following global trends, many routes were "cut back"... and eventually abandoned.

Guess what? Trains are trendy again. The frictionless steel wheels, greater capacity, and lower operating costs are things planners value and take into account.

Go for it, tell everyone what you want to see added to the 500 series.

1996 wasn't long ago. Many of you were born before then, including the Barrie line, which initiated service to Barrie in 1990 (before shutting down for 14 years and coming back in 2007). By the time it came back, the CN line to Orillia, like many other Ontario railways, was completely abandoned and ripped out.

Adding salt to the wound grave, the corridor no longer exists in parts of Barrie because it was used to build MEGA MANSIONS on the Simcoe waterfront. This is infuriating. CN sold the future of an entire city, and nobody stopped them- who could've though, the government privatized CN in 1995, literally a year after, they went on a railway abandonment spree. We should never privatize transportation, when we do, we get abandoned railways... and the 407.

Barrie line service to Orillia will be near impossible to bring back, due parts of it running near Lake Simcoe's waterfront, which turned out to be extremely valuable land that now houses millionaire mansions.

Nevertheless, this is how the Barrie line could've looked like.

Ironic a walkway was named after her, you wouldn’t guess based on how she developed this carburb

Fun Fact: >!The TTC has operated a single-track radial streetcar to Port Credit before. (1927-1935)!<

Neighbouring Mississauga is gearing up its Lakeview for major development, comparable to Humber Bay-Park Lawn.

The city has identified in the Lakeshore Transportation Master Plan a 507 extension as the best option to serve the Lakeshore corridor up to Port Credit, however, the study was done before the Lakeview Village development broke through. The arrival of this high-density waterfront community shifts the area's ridership projections, and I think warrants a reassessment of the corridor.

Since Mississauga isn't up to date, sticking to a linear route is probably not the best option. The city should pivot to a branched network. By introducing a '507 Lakeview Village' branch- akin to how the TTC splits the 504 to serve the Distillery District- we can better deliver transit exactly where the new density demands it.

My local Starbucks was giving these away and I grabbed one without looking at what it was.

What drinks even use “blossoming cherry powder”?

Here you can see my executive dysfunction progressing, I just got my grades in for 11th. Im really trying to raise awareness, if you see people struggling in multiple places, don’t ignore it.

Im not sure what im going to do.
im taking summer school to make up for math so lets hope and pray i push through.
