Which extension would you rather have?
Woukd you rather have Line 2 extended from Kipling to Pearson or from Kipling to Queensway (Hurontario line station)
Heard an announcement I've never heard before. "NExt station is bloor station, There are special constables at the station. If you require their assistance, you can reach out to them there."
Do they always do this as a heads up when they are pulling up to a station with constables? Or did someone on the train and they are letting that customer know that they are there?
Line 5 down
Not sure what’s going on but the entirety of Line 5 is down. Waiting right now at Cedarvale for a shuttle bus but nothing yet
Accident @Dundas near University, ~7 pm
Stumbled at this while walking early this evening. A car-streetcar accident, resulting in major disruption just around the end of rush hour, with multiple streetcars piling up, both ways.
Not sure what exactly transpired, but my guess was that the car tried to enter Dundas westbound from Simcoe, and tried to beat the incoming Westbound streetcar. Some noticeable damage in the Westbound streetcar, not to mention the car.
Love the RapidTO Dufferin lanes and live in Davenport? Don’t vote for Marco Martins!
Marco Martins just came out against the Dufferin bus lanes, claiming they are “empty” and causing traffic.
They also got the endorsement from IntegrityTO, an organization where the bus lanes live rent free in their head.
If you don’t want the Dufferin to suffer again, this is not the candidate you want in City Hall!
What is this machine?
Caught my eye after as it turned away from me.. is this a camera or sensor of some sort ?
Line 5 is unreliable
Yesterday, I didn't get on a train because I noticed it was idling at Eglinton, so I took Line 2 instead. Today, with no announcement prior to boarding, the trains are turning at Aga Khan. 2 weeks ago, every leg of my commute was either delayed or supported by shuttle busses. It's a shame, too, because it cuts time off my commute...when it works.
I'm starting to think Line 5 is a boondoggle. Line 2 at least has the excuse of being ancient.
Line 5 Fest
This event will take place on Aug. 29 from 10 am to 3pm at Cedarvale Station.
It will have a vendor marketplace featuring businesses and artists along Eglinton, Line 5 giveaways, local entertainment, a TTC pop-up shop, and the TTC’s backpack/school supplies drive.

You can enter Eglinton station without a fare for the dry cleaners [update to my question if you can enter without paying fare if going to the dry cleaners]
Not much more to say beyond the title. Asked the staff at the gate (south one) and they confirmed that if you are using the dry cleaners you can enter without paying although they said to use the south entrance.
I asked what would happen if there's fare enforcement officers, they said to just tell them to talk to whoever let me.
They also let me know that I was the 2 or 3rd to ask them this in the past month, so someone must have read the thread and followed up
No bench?
No problem.
Can’t blame her considering there is nowhere to sit at Osgoode but found it very funny, especially cause there was a supervisor in that booth.
Line 4 subway extension poll results
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
*Disclaimer: these polls were taken on reddit, and are subject to bias*
Yet another Toronto transit project is billions over budget. We keep avoiding the real problem
thestar.comWhat is this?
Saw this at Bathurst station today and was wondering what it is
What does "heavy traffic" mean on a subway line??
Title basically. Operator said things will be slow since we're in "heavy traffic". What does that even mean? How is there heavy traffic on a subway line?
Why conservatives hate bike lanes and public transit (clip)
youtube.comWhy. Just why
I have been waiting for over 25 mins to get on 900 bus but when I checked the transit app it shows that the next bus are like a few minutes apart.
Ig TTC decided to go back to being useless
TTCRiders Transit Priority Survey
TTCRiders is doing a survey to identify transit riders’ priorities ahead of the municipal election.
Strongly suggest filling it out, as it’ll helps them hold candidates to account (for example, which candidates will prioritize RapidTO lanes).
If you use the TTC, strongly suggest filling it out!
