    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Prior to the Canada Post disruption decision, the TTC required that MDP customers call the TTC to cancel their subscription and then load a metropass onto their Presto card. I was planning to wait for the end f the MDP in December. Am I correct in assuming I don’t need to call the TTC to cancel...

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    The ceiling slats at Union were installed for the opening but then quickly removed for more work and have since disappeared likely not to be seen again for ages. But what is worse, on the new platform a drywall partial drop ceiling was added after the opening in front of the name Union, covering...

    Toronto 250 University | 155.76m | 47s | Northam | Arcadis

    This is horrible. I love this building and this is just greed.

    Church-Wellesley Village

    A new Noah’s location will be opening soon at 21 Carlton at the foot of the village. Signage is up and paper is in the windows. This will be great since it’s near Loblaws which slashed their non-frozen veggie ‘meat’ product selection by half within the past year. I’ve shopped at Noah’s a lot...

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    One problem with pausing gate installation is the half finished stations like College. The northbound escalator was left out of service impacting accessibility for disabled and elderly while extra staff will be required long term to manage everybody walking through the non-functional gates, with...

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Something is happening in the old Priape space. The windows are uncovered and it's being cleaned up inside. It could be nothing but making it more marketable.

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    The College station installation seems to be stalled. Has anything moved in the past couple of months?

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Kristyn Wong-Tam tweeted Feb 1: Cancelling the Scarborough stubway and re-directing funds back to Transit City and accelerating the Downtown Relief Line should be the 2018 ballot box question. People are going to be hurt - overcrowding is so dangerous now...

    100% agree, this looks auto traced. The problem is a lack of brand governance.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    What happened with the font size for news on the platform screens? Around Jan 1 it changed to teeny tiny type. The news source may have changed, too - it’s Global now, not sure if it was that before. But now the font is so small that only young people will be able to read it from more than 10-15...

    CBC article: 'Under siege by thugs': Church and Wellesley businesses call for help after spate of violent crimes http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/under-siege-by-thugs-1.4370324 To cut off the spelling debate before it begins, yes, it should be siege. CBC got it right.

    Church-Wellesley Village

    Si Nom doesn't have as good of vegetarian menu as Just Thai did. The place beside Loaded Pierogi is supposed to be Pizza Nova moving down the street, according to somebody on site who I asked a couple of months ago.

    Toronto 572 Church Street | 44.5m | 12s | Fieldgate | Arcadis

    I think this is a proposal I can get behind. The height is appropriate for the neighbourhood, there's a bit of retail, and it's not all glass. I don't know if I care for the grey, but it's refreshing to see a building that is not all glass. I thought this property would end up with a tall...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Can't the fare checker scan your pass and determine you have a monthly valid pass? If the tap machine can verify you have a pass, why can't the fare checker do the same without you having to tap a separate device.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    If you have a presto card with a monthly ttc pass, why would you need to tap on when entering a streetcar? I realize they want the data, but you've paid your fare so there should be no requirement to tap.
