I see 1 in that last picture (the 1st pic got posted twice)
Sucks the H4s are being targeted more than T1s though.

I apologize! Long day, should have looked over. I added the "missing photo"

There are some really blurry ones I didn't post, here is roughly what a grafittied h4 looks like lmao

Both escalators connecting the bus terminal to don mills station have been condemned by the TSSA for almost a month now... when in 2026 will the TTC get off their asses to get these elevators repaired??

6-8 months.

I honestly cant discern whether you are joking or telling some truth because ttcs abysmal track record will probably support that

So now every elevator is out of service:

All elevators at TTC subway stations out of service

Approximately 67 of the TTC's 70 subway stations currently have elevator access to train platforms.

The reason being given is that the Passenger Assistance Intercom in subway stations is not working so this move is a safety precaution.

That's absurd.

Surely it's cheaper to add an elevator operator to each elevator than run the 100+ shuttle buses this will need for accessibility.

Ah, that's what TTC is doing. Not clear from City

They've changed the title of the article from "All elevators at TTC subway stations out of service" to "TTC passenger intercom outage affecting subway elevators". Pretty irresponsible editorializing from them imo when the TTC's site indicates (and now so does the article) that the elevators can be used with assistance from staff.

So, no better than the hydraulic "elevators" generally added to new builds just so they can tick an accessibility box off. Those also require a trained operator and both waste the time of and remove the dignity of otherwise mobile people with accessibility needs.
