    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    I’m not sure the specifics, but it could be any number of unique parts they haven’t been able to source. Might be a quantity over quality thing. The few agencies who bought BYD buses in Canada have had less than ideal experiences with them. TTC’s might actually be the most successful. But as...

    Caught the Holiday Streetcar yesterday. Here's my way of wishing everyone on UT a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season!

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    Interesting development at PhoenixEV (formerly Proterra). https://www.linkedin.com/posts/john-walsh-15a90549_we-have-been-working-very-hard-at-phoenixev-activity-7408868714705702912-NzE8 Apparently talks are happening with the TTC too.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I just wanna say: the reduced service across the board (hourly Lakeshore trains for me) during the holidays really sucks and I hope they don’t do this again next year.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Just want to throw it out because I learned this on my recent visit: Montreal is almost done building an underground bus garage.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Yet somehow, annoyingly, everyone on the legacy system seems to know how to press the button when the doors are closing and the streetcar is supposed be driving away. That and the slow doors are really annoying when you end up missing a light.

    Post your pictures of Toronto here!

    Sorry, just saw this now. While the New Looks in Toronto stayed in service until the end of 2011, production of the New Look actually ended in 1986. The ones that ran until 2011 were built in 1982 and 1983. 1959 to 1986 is still a long run though. Interestingly, Nova Bus has recently beat that...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I notice the goal posts keep shifting in this thread. But still, someone sleeping, even if they smell, is not a threat to you. Someone simply drinking a beer is not a threat to you. Oh my god, kids saw someone drinking a beer. I really don’t think they care. When I was a kid I saw people drink...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    One of these things is definitely not like the others. Someone sleeping is scary to you? Hell even someone drinking a beer is a ridiculous thing to be scared of.

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    If the TRs get a heavy rebuild, I really hope they retrofit them with a screen map like the MTA’s R211s. I totally see the TTC being penny wise pound foolish here, though. How do we get their attention on this?

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    Two of the new MCIs went into service for the first time today.
