And the funny thing is, there are still short-turns on the system which only exasperate the horrid scheduling even more. The other night I was on the 512 going westbound from St.Clair station during peak rush hour around 5.
Somehow service was already severely screwed up and after a nice 15 min wait, a 512 showed up but "scheduled" to run to Oakwood. 2 mins later another one showed up to run through to Keele, while a 3rd trailed us "scheduled" to run to Lansdowne. Notice how I put scheduled in quotation marks, because these are short turns which the TTC apparently doesnt like to clearly mark as such because of whatever idiotic reason they have. Now the best part is, the streetcar that was "scheduled" to run to Oakwood dumped all it's passengers there and the stop was overcrowded and couldnt pick up all the passengers on the car that I was on that was headed to Keele. The streetcar behind me was going to Lansdowne, so who knows how long those customers had to wait for the next Keele bound streetcar.
This is during peak hours ladies and gentlemen, on a route which was severely screwed up before it's ROW was constructed. We all thought the ROW was constructed to rectify the issues the route was having (which it was initially), but yet this joke of an organization has degraded the service there so bad to the point that the 512 runs as if there was still no ROW constructed at many points during the day.
