Toronto is used to the Yonge University line being in a U shape. I suggest putting a small incline on some of the lines. (Also, I "renumbered" the lines since numbers would be used for the actual stations, as well as the names).
Seen it on the new subway map today found on the T1 trains. It replaced whatever was on the left side of the map.
Nothing was on the left side of the map asides from the map, unless you mean the right side where you would find the train's emergency evaluation procedures and exits. It's also possible the map was shifted to fit in the station info.
You're right. The current version don't. I'm thinking of a much older version where they did have info about safety and DWA.
It probably came down to cost and alos available technology at the time they were designed plus the LEDS wee already in place behind the amp for the extins however they will have to add new ones for the Eglinton crosstown line once it opens, same with Finch West.
We don't even get a lot of new lines opening. LEDs are good enough when we get a new line every 5 to 10 years. By the time the TRs are at the end of life, they would have only received 4 or 5 additional. TYSSE this year, Crosstown and Finch in 2021, Scarborough Subway and Crosstown West/East in 2026?, Relief Line and maybe Yonge extension in 2031 and Sheppard extension or another line in 2036??
The problem is it isn't owned by the TTC it's owned by the building it's nearby. It's convent to have but it's a lot easier to get around not using it over ones at subway stations not working as you just need to go a little ways down Queens Quay to Harbourfront Centre to get on the Streetcar there instead.
If you have mobility problems walking to QQ and York or down the stairs is not as easy as you seem to think. You and I can do it but many can't. If it belongs to the building then they need to fix it properly, I assume they had to install it due to a condition for building.
The TTC used to own the elevator but a new company took over the building and because the elevator sits on their land much the same way how the elevators for Dundas are inside of the Eaton Centre and the parking garage for Dundas Square the TTC doesn't have much say in how they are maintained. The TTC can ask them to repair it but it's up to them to do. Queens Quay doesn't relly receive much traffic for it to be a huge problem but your point is understandable that it is an inconvenience for those that need it just not as bad if one of the elevators say at Victoria park are down then you have to go to another station change trains and head back the opposite direction whereas if your destination is along Queens Quay going an extra stop isn't as bad.
but to add to my earlier post, apparently 8621 and 8622 are now at Eglinton.

EDIT: I wish the TTC had painted the grille above the rear window area red, like the rest of the stripes. I also wish they had gotten the red plastic around the rear brake/turn lights (and a rear window).
