    Roads: Traffic Signals

    With the bike lanes completed on Sheppard, I was shocked that the City went to the trouble of installing bike signals at Wilfred, just to provide bikes the LPI. I love these lanes, but it seems silly to go out of the way to install separate bike signals over five seconds just to provide...

    TTC: Easier Access Phase III

    My phone slows with multiple windows open... I wanted to add, this is more for women's safety when most vulnerable. There are workarounds - eg. wait for someone to leave the stall once the indicator changes. Being cheap, I always used a long-distance train departing in 10+ minutes. This is...

    Roads: Traffic Signals

    I'm curious... Since the HTA allows for left/right arrows with a red signal, would it allow for a straight/through arrow on a red as well? This accompanied by a "no right on red" sign would eliminate the necessity for that extra signal on the right in your video, while providing LPI and LTI...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Kind of surprised @micheal_can didn't reply to this... GOVA (Sudbury): "101 Lively" runs right into Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nation every two hours at worst.

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    Line 5 stations/stops will need to be retrofitted with new signage when the Renforth extension opens - this better follow the current Metrolinx standard!!

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Crosspost from CPTDB: Source This video answered my question: Yes, you will have to push the button. It was rather amusing seeing some people pushing the doors. --- On a side note, good to see Guelph doing more with their LCD-displays than Toronto: Thank you @Blob (on CPTDB)!! Source

    Mind_the_gap's Musings

    Amazing footage of Stockholm trams: 1966 city tram network map (in red): Source All city trams (except Line 7) were lost with the switch to right-hand traffic. Cool Line 15 footage: Bonus: Edit: The transport museum: Ps. I really love @Sam H's videos!

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Makes it easier to see from across the street if it's the streetcar you need to catch. The same idea Line 5 underground stations will employ by providing arrival information before even entering the building.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I really wish the legacy Flexities had been equipped with Destos on the left side of the car... Helsinki example: Source Orion VII examples. Seattle: Source San Fran: Source With the constant diversions on the streetcar network, this would've been helpful. (Edited to correct last photo.)

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Wasn't it said somewhere here that streetcars were running "express" along the Queen detour. If so, I can imagine there aren't any marked stops on Adelaide between Spadina and York. Correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, I could see the TTC wanting to maintain consistency between EB and WB...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I need to say this, the Leslie bus divide at Sheppard (51A/151) is so misinformed. Constituents were complaining to Shelley Carroll about the delays caused to the 51 by Line 5 construction on Eglinton. That's over. Their complaint was that all they wanted to do was access Line 4. This is very...
