Over the last few years, more than half the bus stops on 34 have been removed, in order to get closer to matching the Line 5 stops,. Probably it is being done gradually so commuters don't kick up a big fuss if many stops were to disappear all at once. All that is incompatible and unnecessary...

It will all look silly if the line doesn't open this year.

More context please? This is looking east from the corrner of Caledonia and Eglinton West. Currently (or formerly, but this is what's on TTC's website right now) this intersection has route 32 Eglinton West running east/west, and route 47 Lansdowne running north/south. I have to presume route 34...

They say you learn something new every day. I just learned 2.

I presume you're talking about the Spadina subway in particular. When they built it, they made a big deal about every station having unique artwork. Well, some of it was nice, some of it was kinda ugly, some of it is gone now and was never replaced. I'm not sure we got our moneys worth out of...

Ghost service? Sounds like a bus route through a cemetery.

Probably worn out, needs to be replaced. Just kidding, of course, but I do wonder about the flat screen TVs/monitors that have been mounted all over the open street stations, turned on, for 5 years, through winter storms and heat waves. What is their life expectancy under outdoor conditions?

I walked by it this morning. Looks like the work is finished.

You mean... that unfinished east/west platform they built under Queen Station in the 1950s isn't going to be the platform for the Ontario Line? My illusions are shattered again. 🙁

100% agree. I meant to say, the entire universe would be meaningless matter and energy to you, if you couldn't perceive the patterns they make. Maybe Doug is trying to tell Olivia that Toronto City Hall is not important enough to have a stop!

It's not just a language thing, some people have trouble seeing the difference. I don't know if it's an eye or a brain thing, but my father thought the two were almost the same colour, and when I'd point something out as being green, he would say no, that's blue, and later my mom would quietly...

They have a truck drive beside the rails, with a tank of water, and high pressure hose. I've seen it do a lovely job of watering passing cars.

If heading to Old Cummer, but unable to get a refund from the ticket wicket, that would be a Cummer bummer.

I agree. First, I'd really like to see internal memos and such about reasons for the 5+ year delay, and see if they're anything like what we've been told. (Oh wait, we haven't been told anything, I mean to say different to what we've been speculating.) I'd also like to see the report the...

That map is not just dated because of station names. The northeast corner of Don Mills and Eglinton will be under contruction for years, and there is no way buses are going to be able to turn into the station from Don Mills, because that is where the new station is to be built. There is a big...

Not trying to disagree so much as clarify... I was trying to be careful to suggest a minimal change that would not put a strain on bus services, if that's what we're talking about. How about if we limit the idea to diverting the end of any bus route from a current postiton of a bus stop on the...

You mean, they're not uncomfortable enough?

I just want anything to sit on. Put down a big rock, and I'll sit on that. That reminds me... On the opposite site of the intersection (Don MIlls and Eglinton) there is a planter with a big rock in it, which is to be removed because it's in the way of the forthcoming Ontario Line station, and...

If the goal is to try not to open everything on the same day, that's understandable. BUT, I don't know why they can't open the bus bays SOONER than the rest of the station, and put the platforms into use now, for north/south bus routes that will use a new station as an endpoint. It's like the...

I think that's what I said, I'm not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing. Once the site is closed off (as it is right now), it's not going to reopen, just because construction has not started. Just north of that spot, there is a driveway connecting Don Mills Road to the grocery store, and at...
