Finch West Line 6 LRT

[hw621]

How busy will the line be tomorrow? Is it even worth trying to ride it?

7 AM on a Sunday means that the very first train or two will be busy, but things should even out quickly. The peak hour will probably hit sometime after 10 AM.

So it should be fairly safe to ride in the afternoon

Being free and a new line, it will be very busy like the day the 510 went back into service using the first two Flexity.

Hard to say how many will be there at 7:00 or 7:40 am, with no subway service until 8 am, but it will get heavy toward noon.

Would try the line in the afternoon or early evenings when the crowds will be thinning out.

The 36C rerouting has it turn left on Highway 27 to get to Finch directly.

Doesn't it turn left at a corner with a subway entrance? But it doesn't stop?

Though I guess the question is, what will be happening after the TTC routes are all adjusted. Presumably the old 36C service west of Humber College wouldn't be running all the way from Finch.

I think it’s missing key connections to other services. Not necessarily every TTC route—that would get too busy—but links to other transit operators and, at minimum, Line 1. One of the advantages of line-specific maps is that you have the space to show those connections, but they’ve chosen not to include them.

It's finally here.

It has been a pleasure posting with you all.

I expect to see you all at the opening ceremony tomorrow!

It’s about damn time….hopefully Google maps updates it. Also, what’s with Wikipedia editors not giving Finch West or Eglinton surface stops any separate articles? Wikipedia editors are weird.

Which is weird because the Bloor-Danforth maps show connections.

For "safety"

This is the most insideous problem with the TTC right now. Not the tech, not any other issues. This.

There is a ridiculous culture of over-the-top safety that is literally ruining the system.

One close call, and the entire system is forever and permanently put on training wheels.

In reality it has nothing to do with safety but rather government risk, and no one at the TTC having a spine.

I feel like I recently read somewhere that a significant number of TTC closures have been caused by people on the tracks. Perhaps the slowing down and wanting to avoid hitting people is actually less about safety and more about avoiding even longer shutdowns?

How early are yall going tomorrow?

I intend on going as early as possible since I'm not very close to the station like at all. According to Google Maps arrival time is 6:51 AM.

West of Humber College is being served by the 37A Islington to Humber College via Rexdale Blvd and Woodbine Racetrack and 37S Islington Short Turn to Humberwood Loop

Surface stops are not as significant as actual stations. Line 5 did have surface stop articles but they were deleted.
