TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

[picard102]

I always think they should keep the time in the middle of these screens. Everyone is trying to get somewhere, not making joy rides.

The time? Like a clock?

We got a good look now. They have seemed to remove the news and informational video moving forward from 3507’s prototype. If you guys rode 3721, it seems they went with that design with a few minor changes.View attachment 703196View attachment 703197View attachment 703198

Wow the TTC implementing something that actually looks competent and pretty well thought out? This is really jaw dropping!

I can definitely think of some other ways to improve the screen, but overall this is much better than the garbage that's displayed on buses today. I'll give them credit where credit is due.

Now we just need them to stop installing them places where the screens are blocked by poles.

Interesting.. they’ve been releasing a alternate style mapping to the TR’s too.

Wow….rare TTC wayfinding win. Maybe they have spies on this forum who are reading all our comments. Though realistically I always knew they would end up doing this. Line 2 trains mostly show this type of map (except it’s Line 2).

I would hope in the upcoming new subway models the TTC is acquiring, they’ll have moving digital maps….which would solve everything.

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?

We can't get consistently open bathrooms....

It saddens me how often people re-post the same thing without checking whether its been posted before. Guess this is just a symptom of (as Mods have said) hitting the ignore button.

The "search" function in "Urban Toronto" is limited in how it can be used. Can't use short words for example.

You don't need a search function. Simply scrolling the last few pages quickly before posting isn't hard to do and something I do every time I'm posting something I think may have already been posted. If it's a news item, I search back to the date the article came out.
