That is incorrect. I know Mong Kok, Admiralty, Kowloon and Q Bay each have one. About 1/3 of the stations that I have been to have washrooms

It's not a 1/3 for sure. Maybe 1/6 of the older stations have them. Most of the newly built stations have them but the older lines don't have them every 3 stations for sure.

You can take one of the best systems in the world like Hong Kong's and yet they lack washrooms. Their system is more than twice our size and with many more riders and there are barely any washrooms.

The TTC has 11 stations with washrooms over 75 stops. 14%. And most at terminal stations (or what were terminal stations) which are are relatively new.

MTR has 23 stations with washrooms over about 70 stations (excluding the KCR lines). 33%. And most at newer stations (similar to Toronto)

So when there is a comparison between Hong Kong and Toronto it is unfair to say that Toronto has barely any washrooms.

Lol, compared with subways in Europe and Asia, TTC can't be described as clean and modern...

Not entirely my experience. While east asia takes great pride in keeping stations clean, I find the TTC to be very similar to cleanliness if not better than some stations in London, Glasgow, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Prague, Frankfurt, etc.

It's not like station cleanliness should be the greatest issue for the TTC anyways. As long as it doesn't smell like piss, you should be good. Cleanliness here is much better than in Montreal in that respect. the TTC has other issues to worry about.

Debatable, the trains themselves are typically fairly clean. I will agree stations can be hit or miss.

Yes east Asian is the best. I found TTC trains and stations OK in terms of cleanliness. The worst parts are around the entrances. I feel ashamed every time I see the floors covered with newspaper, cigarette butts, drink bottles etc.
 
So… let's rein this in and get back to Crosstown construction please!

I drove the length of the surface section today. Here’s the dash cam footage, for those of us that haven’t seen the area recently

  • Centre median removed through the entire project
  • Significant works happening at Kennedy, Ionview, Hakimi Lebovic, Pharmacy, O’Connor,
  • Bridge is being widened over the both the East and West Don Rivers
  • Most significantly, both the Brentcliffe and Don Mills portals look to be mostly complete. On the Don Mills portal, it looks like permanent structures have now been built on the surface, including concrete finishes.

I click the link but it's broken apparently. Do you have another link

The more I think about the Line 5 "Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit" name, the more I think it should be called the Line 5 "Crosstown Rapid Transit".

Line 5 Eglinton. The 98% of the population who are not transit wonks won’t even notice the difference between overhead catenary and third rail. They will notice that they aren’t stuck in traffic and that the thing appears to have stations (underground) and station-stops.
 
[QUDoes anyone know if it's been discussed how it will operate like will trains run the entire length of it or will some only serve the above ground sections and you will have to transfer at Laird
