    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Many stops don't have fare boxes on the platform. There are none north of College, and the northbound one at College was out of order this past week. Presto...the readers are all normally sensitive enough to pick it up when I can just wave my wallet. Most of the issues I've found is people...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Like every other Presto reader in existence already does. And this issue was raised when they did testing panels for it in the summer, but they obviously didn't listen. I don't understand why, because it will eventually at least need to show at least the transfer times in 5-10 years...once the...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Rode one of the new streetcars since Presto has been installed. Swipe your card and it's just a giant check mark. How useful is that? Not very! Did they not listen to a word we said when they had testing panels? And since when does the driver not open the doors? You think a sticker or...

    I think that's always been there. I can't remember...been covered for construction for months now.

    TTC: Monthly Pass Prices: Metropasses vs. other North American Cities

    They are. Presto, on the few places they have on TTC is $2.70. Post-secondary pass is exactly 40 times that, $108. A single day where I don't need to go, it's no longer worth it.

    Name one station without straight edges (and not just from wear-and-tear).

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    We know that 4400 and 4403 work in Toronto, but we don't know if 4404 works properly. Essentially, I'm assuming it needs breaking in on the roads, so to say. Even with the results of the other streetcars, they probably have to be sure, address any teething troubles.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    https://twitter.com/StreetcarTO/status/530363682883399681 Just tweeted: "Guess who's on their way to Toronto? Here's a hint: starts with a 4, ends with a 4, and is modern, accessible, red and very shiny. #ttc" 4004 is on its way, I guess.

    And here's what happened: http://www.ttc.ca/Customer_Service/System_Problems_Nov_5_2014.jsp St. George signals failed (YUS) Broadview signals showed a false red However...there are also cross-overs at Spadina. So I'd like to know why they didn't use those. (which allows for a good bypass via...

    Four separate passenger alarms around the same time this morning on Bloor-Danforth. Yikes.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    That's the problem. It's fully implemented everywhere else in the GTA for years now and not on the TTC. Presto started as a trial at Union station in 2007. What have they been doing for 7 years? Neither TTC nor Presto seem to know what is going on...I asked them yesterday when it would go live...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I thought they would have done that when the platforms were closed in August...so what exactly where they doing then if they're still having to do work now? It's really a mess right now, although seems a lot less crowded in the mornings. There's also an issue with a rather large gap between the...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I found a related story over 4 years old. http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2010/08/11/disability_rights_activist_calls_for_shutdown_of_presto.html But seriously...TTC has messed up Presto so much. Last month, I saw a collector flip out at an able-bodied lady laden with packages scan her Presto...

    Mayor John Tory's Toronto

    Smart man. Take advantage of the talent that your opponents had. Add Goldkind to that list for perfection.

    Rob Ford's Toronto

    It could really be the Ford factor...people were too focused on Ford and not the councilors.
