I remember taking like one or two field trips on the bus once way back in high school. It was just tickets for everyone, long before Presto. Chartering a TTC bus is significantly more expensive that just paying standard fares for a class of around 30 students.

I think only GO, TTC and Viva have fare inspectors because all other systems you're paying at the driver, so there's little need for fare inspectors. It's probably assumed that when you got on the bus, you paid, so they don't need to check you on board again, so you can easily go past the two...

I think so in the summer at least, can't say how it is in the winter.

501 doesn't serve the 407 station in any direction, despite what the YRT map seems to imply.

Bramalea terminal is not that old, (what 10, 12 years?) yet it seems like it is frequently needing major repairs multiple times already.

A hand or arm may prevent a door from fully closing, but something smaller, like a piece of clothing can be trapped and still make it appear as closed to the system. I often read RAIB reports from the UK, and item trapped in door, dragging a passenger for some distance is fairly common. I...

Morning Star was a left exit northbound. The left exit was signalized at the southbound lanes. Northbound had no lights because the lanes just continued on. Traffic from Morning Star could only go southbound.

A little bit of weirdness going on the TTC twitter service account today, mentioning Line 5, probably testing out alerts. Which have since vanished.

Weekend trips pre-covid have been done have been done to Brampton before, I think mostly for Labour Day weekends to the CNE. But well...

New systems funding shouldn't be tied to having to adopt to Presto, but it should at least be accepted if your system intersects with an existing system that accepts Presto. Presto is far from perfect, but as someone that used multiple systems on most days, it's way better than having to worry...

I have noticed that exit numbers are inconsistent, even on highways that recently got exit numbers (ie 410 some of them are numbered, some aren't, even exits recently built/rebuilt)

My complaints about Pearson are it's like ages from the plane to customs at least when coming from the US. We came in a flight last month, very late, around midnight, several hours late (departing airport's problems) and it was a long time to walk from the plane and the first and only washroom...

It's because they changed the lane pattern between Steeles and Queen when they added the HOV lane in. In the past you had the ramp from Steeles Eastbound that went straight and exited at Queen, and the ramp from Steeles Westbound continued right to exit at Clark. Meaning no lanes were lost. Now...

http://www.ttc.ca/News/2021/September/24_09_21NR_presto_screens.jsp Can I say finally?

British National Rail still operates their request stops on making your intent clear to the approaching train, which is just wave. And it's rather unusual if you want to get off from the train. The driver will stop at request stops unless the conductor sends a signal to skip, which only happens...

But, every GTA transit agency outside of the TTC is already somewhat integrated, they all accept transfers from each other, and have cofares with GO. I've avoided routes on the TTC to pay less via Brampton and YRT. From this perspective, it seems like TTC is the one holdout, especially since...

Wow both of those stations look great. Keele does look out of place compared to the rest of the station, but it still looks nice. Chester has that sort of rustic look.

According to the TTC website, currently VP has 3 regular bus routes (plus 1 community, and 1 cancelled express) and Warden has 9.

Probably not until York U resumes on campus learning, which the earliest would be September, at this time.

I don't think the TTC would want a publicly accessible elevator that can access an area not open to the public.
