I doubt very much that bunching would be a big problem at 10 minute frequencies. At least not on paper, whether the line supervisor is asleep at the wheel or actually doing their job is a different issue. But provided the line supervisor is capable of engaging with the world around them and...

I'm not sure this needs to be made into an either or situation. Being unexpectedly evicted from your home is an incredibly drastic experience, whether you are a renter or a homeowner. Being a homeowner doesn't certify that you will be able to find a home in the neighbourhood, which could cause...

Maybe we shouldn't listen to them? People who know nothing about the life cycle of a rail car have no business commenting about rail cars. I truly loathe this direction our society is going in where any random fool with an internet connection can make an inflammatory comment and cause a...

I don't think anyone except for railfans actually cares.

The cars only get repainted when they go in for refurbishing, which is usually every 20 years or so. A portion of the Series V cars were refurbished in the early 2010s before the new livery was introduced, and cars were getting delivered brand new in the old colours until 2014, so optimistically...

I can see how the 69 having two distinct routings could cause some confusion, even if they both ended up at the same spot sooner or later. If you wanted to go to Birchmount and Sadler, for example, it would save you a hell of a lot of time to get on the Birchmount branch, rather than doing the...

My favourite is the completely pointless swapping of the 85B and 85C. Whatever cretin keeps instituting these changes must hold their ridership in high contempt.

The current ad campaign does not seem to have a clear target audience in mind, it seems to be talking down to the whole ridership.

I dearly hope this is not true! It's a transit line, not a military complex.

This one is worse, because it is talking down to the entire ridership all at once. When I pay my fare, it's to protect my own skin. It is certainly not out of any kind of misguided respect for the TTC, which no one should have.

This is truly the most loathsome PR campaign in the TTC's history, which is saying a lot because their social media pages are a complete dumpster fire of corny memes. "Tap out of respect" how condescending can you get?

Aging Bilevels? Have you actually bothered to take a look at the fleet rosters? Most of the BiLevels are less than 20 years old. And those that aren't have quite recently been refurbished (the Series I cars were finished about 6 years ago, the Series II cars are getting work now). So essentially...

I’m sure they will still be on the market when the BiLevels naturally reach the end of their life. In the meantime, nixing perfectly usable equipment strikes me as being extraordinarily shortsighted.

And why exactly should they do that? Maintaining and refurbishing our coaches so that someone else can benefit from them?

The only way I can see this being a problem is if for some reason a person is using the name of a street, and no other context, to navigate their way around. I can't imagine why anyone would do this, and if they would do it, that is their own fault. We have GPS, and before that we had paper...

Is Budapest Park also misleading, being nowhere near Budapest?

Why is this smh? Toronto and Vaughan are separate cities. Neither is obligated to set its geographical names in accordance with the other.

This person thought they would ship a brand new streetcar with no trucks!?

What is their angle by bringing up the line 2 fleet replacement at the end of the article? Completely irrelevant to the issue of slow zones.

Departure boards at Vienna Schwechat Airport. This is the blueprint for what I was talking about in here earlier... you don't have to walk anywhere to get information about a separate mode, but it also allows you to quickly filter out information so that you're not messing around with...
