r/TTC

What's up with L5? No service between Mount Pleasant and Laird. Been like this for the last 4 hours.

With the hotter weather coming in I just wanted to take the time to say PEOPLE PLEASE WEAR DEODORANT!!

I know slow zones and stuff but what needs to happen and how long will it take?

We were going northbound on line 1 and then we stop at Sheppard west and hear on the speakers that we have to get out and that the train is out of service. We get out and there are 2 (or more I only saw 2) special constables around on the platform.
Then the train goes southbound and we get on the next one.
I’m so confused.

Yesterday at 5:14 pm, I tapped onto Finch West Station with a Student Presto, I have an ID.

As soon as I tapped, I saw a 36 and walked toward it, there was a fare enforcement officer who asked to see my Presto Card while I was trying to get to the bus.

He apologized but still stopped me.

While He checked my Presto Card the bus left.

I offered to show him my student ID but he left me go without checking it.

The officer wasn’t rude but he knowingly delayed my commute. Do I have a legitimate reason to complain?

I have a screenshot of my tapping at finch west on the presto website.

Bill 98 gives MTO and the province sweeping final authority over transit costs, funding, routes, and frequencies. A car-brained province who notoriously hates Toronto now has the final say over Toronto's transit system.

TTC is barely surviving and avoiding a transit death spiral. The saving grace of TTC is its coverage even into smaller suburban areas of Toronto and its headways. With Bill 98 passed I am worried that Ford is going to start cutting frequencies, slashing lesser travelled routes, and cutting subways from 4 minute headways. That and we start seeing $4 fares.

We know Ford hates Toronto and wants to hurt us. There is no other explanation. With the TTC, the City's lifeline, at his greasy fingertips, it's only a matter of time before we see cutbacks. Buses along major corridors will start running every 30 minutes, the subway every 12, 900 express services will be suspended, and fares will be $4. We'll be like every other shitty American transit system.

Something needs to be done. What else can we do except email our representatives? Because it seems Ford doesn't care what the public thinks

Would they let it go because, in theory, I already paid for all my trips? Or a tap is a tap and required at all times?

Any fare inspectors on here?

Curious cuz you can still be inside the fare paid zone well after your transfer expired, especially the buses… since some of them move from one fare paid zone station to another… how do they know you paid?

I accidentally took line 1 from Cedarvale as line 1 is my transit everyday. lol. Got off at St Clair and got returned and finally got on line 5 to Kennedy. It’s nice and cold. Imagine the winter?

Why can't the tracks be placed apart so that the sidewalks can be used as boarding platforms? Wouldn't this eliminate the "look right for traffic", and also make priority lanes much easier to implement/keep car traffic flowing? The only issue I can think of would be right turns since the turn radius might be too small.
