    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Signal problems was what they were announcing at Warden.

    Ah yes, that sounds familiar now. Thanks.

    TTC: Major Operational Issues (Various)

    Signal problems late this morning on the eastern portion of the 2 between VP and Kennedy. Arrived at Kennedy to find an already pretty full train waiting, so it must have been idling there some time. Waited about 15 minutes before we were given the go ahead to leave, during which time no other...

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    2330 is parked in Willowbrook with a good dozen or so windows missing and replaced with some kind of tarp. Upcoming refurbishment victim?

    Toronto 45-47 Sheppard East | 203m | 59s | Lev Living | B+H

    Yeah, if they can somehow pull this off it will be the best looking new build in the city by a considerable margin. But I expect disappointment.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Phew. I was worried something might happen in this country that isn't a complete shambles.

    Innovation/Automation in Retail

    Dynamic pricing? They're inventing new ways to screw over their clientele. That's the "innovation" part of the thread title, I guess.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    But they're renaming the one which is actually different from the others. We're moving in the wrong direction...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    And what has the unreliability of the Crosstown that you so accurately foresee got to do with the Ontario line? Oh, right, nothing.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    You can think whatever you want about the design of the project, but it would be nice if you could do us the courtesy of starting your own Crosstown hate echo chamber Reddit community so that those of us who are looking for actual news and facts and don't care to read this nonsense can filter...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Not happening. Not ever. Please find a new dead horse to flog.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I have many years of experience having to interact with CVORs as part of my job and this doesn't seem like a safe assumption at all. A lot of those guys are highly deficient in intellect fully sober.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Is the situation really that bad in the trucking industry that their only requirements are that the person has to have a pulse? This is getting really out of hand. When is someone going to come down on these troglodytes for continuously hiring people that put the general public in danger?

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    That car isn't refurbished, it's one of the 7 or so units that were retained for use as cab cars after the rest were converted to mid-train coaches. The car is only around 11 years old.

    While the idea of decarbonization might be sound on paper, this is exactly one of those feel good populist motions that is completely disconnected from reality. If California blocks sales of used equipment to economically disadvantaged states, what exactly do they think is going to happen - that...

    GO Transit Fleet Equipment and other

    This is a very strange stipulation, and it brings up an interesting discussion of government jurisdiction and overreach. Economics aside: what if GO did NOT make the locomotives T4 compliant? Would Metrolink be fined? What possible mechanism exists for Metrolink to enforce a condition of sale...

    Distillery District

    I think that the popularity of this event, and the Distillery generally, shows how starved we are in Toronto for pedestrian only communal areas. We can only dream of any new development in the city that matches something like Village Square in Burlington, even if the latter is too small and...

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    What are we seeing on the pictures from Line 6 that they don't have on Line 5? Both sets of photos are pointing to different types of signage, except for the sign pointing to the "Eglinton"/ "Finch West" line. The only difference I can see is that the symbol for 5 vs 6 is different.

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    Line 1 is a freak case. I'm not really sure what the answer is, honestly... having two platforms at Union both labelled as northbound is hardly a solution, but if I'm a visitor to the city I do not think very much that merely seeing Finch and Vaughan would help me either. It also doesn't help...
