Would be nice if the two other Airport Express buses from Mount Dennis and Humber College were shown as well (although they aren't in service yet)

Does anyone know what speed restrictions have been put in place along Finch? Looking back at early testing done by contractors, speeds were almost double what they are now. I've noticed LRVs crawl everywhere, stop for yellow lights and take a while to start moving after a light turns green...

On maps the station is being named TMU not Toronto Metropolitan University

Trains on Line 1 are still saying next station Eglinton West, and most signs within the original station still display Eglinton West. The TTC has started installing new maps across the network but I wish they'd make it clear new lines aren't open yet. Also the ride guides handed out at Mount...

My latest update of the projects progress, filmed on Thursday: "Hazel McCallion LRT November 2025 | Progress Update"

Was on the Kitchener Line today around 2 and the yard looked full, though I could be wrong but the past few days it's been much emptier

Good point considering how early bus stop poles were replaced, I would imagine new maps after the Oct 12 services changes might include all or most of the changes and maybe an outline of the new lines similar to the TYSSE launch. Eglinton West still needs to be renamed to Cedarvale as well.

The most unexpected change seems to be moving northbound Keele buses into Keelesdale terminal, would this not be considered part of the project? I'm surprised they're able to do that, especially since the terminal has been complete for a while now.

I don't find the arrival displays to be accurate, I've seen the numbers not change for minutes on end, display 40 minutes until the next train, etc. Definitely not programed to the schedule but also not usually correct if it's live tracking

I've heard several people mention the Laird turn back as the planned service pattern, not sure if it's true. I will say that the TTC takes a long time to turn back vehicles, often delaying the one behind

The digital displays at stations have been saying every 6-7 min off peak (obviously those are all test displays though). Walked the surface section Sunday and there was lots of bunching (every 2-10 min). Every 5-6 is about as low as frequencies should get imo

Has the rfq for stations and systems been released yet? I expect the project to move slower than Eglinton West

Shouldn't there already be pretty readily available maintenence info for all parts of the project? TTC has already been operating slightly different flexitys for a while even if Crosslinx is handling maintenance they could share strategies

All of the bus poles on Eglinton were replaced with post opening service for Line 5 last fall. Unfortunately they didn't put up temporary signs of the current routes. As for Lawrence, I've been on WB 52's that stop in the station but I've also seen them stop on street so not too sure about that

Was near Eglinton and Leslie for almost 10 minutes and didn't see any trains around 1:50. Oddly enough the eastbound displays said 25 min for the next lrv, while the westbound ones were saying 3 and 6 min
