In my opinion the orientation of Toronto should match that of true north. Not a big fan of the black background, but this is probably the best way to accurately represent everything. https://www.reddit.com/r/TransitDiagrams/s/lU99X1ixuo

Honestly.....at this point they should just open a competition up and let people figure out what's the best way to visualise Toronto's transport system. I've also hated that these maps don't show which streetcars service what station.

Line 5 opening will be basically Ontario doing this....

I cannot for the life of me understand what exactly YRT even does. The last #2 Milliken bus Mon-Fri is 11:17pm....despite the fact most events and evening shifts end at 11:00pm....nobody is reaching Finch in 17 minutes, not with the theatrics that occur on Line 1 at that time of night. But in...

Can someone explain what is the deal with Line 2 trains slowing to a crawl midway between each station and then crawling into each station? I mean how the heck is anybody supposed to get around when service is this unreliable?

I've always been confused over the French translations. Finch Ouest?

That I did NOT know....interesting! I wonder if we'll see a resumption of Toronto-Sydney flights via HNL at some point. Although I recall during the COVID lockdowns, AC ran special non-stop flights from YYZ to Sydney to pick up stranded Canadians.

Ahh I did not know that....interesting. Maybe they should have just went with "Humber station" instead.

Are they seriously going to call it “East Harbour Transit Hub”? It sounds like a mall atrium where you wait while your phone charges. Seriously, what is a “transit hub”? Nobody talks like that. Nobody says “meet me at the transit hub.” Outside of the United States, this term is completely...

Thank you. Honestly. I am glad someone finally said the obvious part out loud, because I am losing my mind reading the takes in here. “They can just play at SkyDome!” No. They can’t. They couldn’t even before the baseball specific renovations. The sightlines were garbage, the field was a...

The bridge looks very underwhelming….I mean for functionality it gets a 10/10 and I suppose to keep costs down they went with a simple design, but man….if they had the money, I nice iconic bridge overlooking the Don Valley and the Toronto skyline in the background would have been great.

Why is the Toronto Fire Services insisting on American made fire trucks? Makes no sense….especially considering what’s happening nowadays between the US and Canada, maybe this would be a great time to venture into the European market and pick up some fire trucks that actually make sense for...

Well something is better than nothing. I know building RoW for the entire streetcar network can’t happen overnight, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. The red paint is perfect….a polite way to say F off the tracks please. Honestly, I feel like that YouTube video a few months...

I’ve been saying this for years now: LRTs work great in mid-sized cities like Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Calgary, Edmonton, and soon Quebec City. In those cities, the scale, street layout, and density match what an LRT can realistically support. But Toronto is operating at a completely...

It looks like GO Expansion has slowed down, and in some ways it has….not because the idea is dead, but because the execution keeps getting dragged out. There’s still planning, signalling upgrades, track work and corridor prep happening, but major parts of the original vision have been descoped...
