Safety check is pretty inclusive. I used that one a couple of days for the completely unconscious person, who could have been dead for all I know. (Didn't twitch a muscle while i was there). Suspicious activity is another. And there's also other. I'd think screaming racist epithets and...

Says the guy who wonders why a line using LRVs is called an LRT. 🤣

The Ottawa and Montreal projects are grade-separated subway-like projects. Heck, the Montreal project is mostly a converted commuter rail line. Would you compare the planed GO-ALRT to a line like Finch? I'm not sure why you need so many consecutive posts to say the same thing. The jogger only...

I'd think taking such risks is just being human. And we are all qualified. Even if riders would only report all these things to transit control, it could help. If only to highlight the problem in the monthly statistics. That's pretty painless - I reported a passed out person on the 505...

PPP is a private-public (or public-private) partnership. Could easily not include various items. For example I doubt most PPPs to build schools include hiring teachers, etc.! You may be thinking of a DBFOM (design build finance operate maintain) ... or various versions. This would be a DBFM)...

Mosaic isn't running the route. They are doing maintenance. TTC is the operator.

I've never witnessed this without saying something to the perp - if only to distract them from their target. I couldn't live with myself if I ignored something like that, and let a 16-year old - even if I got spit in the face for my efforts.

It's so sad that so many have become so complacent and chicken that they won't say something to someone vaping on the subway. And even more annoying that they have the temerity to talk behind the person's back! The way to fix the problem is to take back the streets. Not cower.

The website says Green P though ... but whatever it is, it's not very clear!

That's officially called the St. Lawrence Garage, I believe. I was just perusing the market website and scratching my head about this parking lot at Jarvis and Esplanade they are advertising. Is there a new entrance, or are they getting Jarvis and Church mixed up...

And yet you need to come here and go on and on about it. Just put on earphones, and let it go, rather than bottling it up. Wish them a Merry Christmas.

And the provincial jail system, requiring too many having to be bailed. And the mental health system. Making it difficult to get treatment. And community housing - leaving more on the street.

I'm not sure I believe this. This individual is known to more than one person here, and has killed people, but is still riding with their music too loud? And you all are worried about their music? If one is too chicken to speak out, then perhaps we can be spared their 1st world whinging.

They aren't designed for 130 km/hr though. Which has been the standard for at least 40 years or so. And at some point, a half-century perhaps after design standards change, they'll be on the end of a large lawsuit - especially now they've increased the speed limit to 110 km/hr. Yeah, that curve...

And what did you say to them? If you kept quiet, you are part of the problem!
