Toronto Transit Trivia

[M II A II R II K]

The Bloor/Danforth station colour scheme has 5 different colours for most of the stations that go one colour after the other and the colour scheme starts again.

They do the same for the station names but have a different number of colours so no 2 stations would have the same coloured walls and coloured names.

What is the number of colours for station names under that colour system....

Too easy. There are five background colours and four trims.

It's definitely not that... think about routes that only use 1 vehicle...

Hey, that's right! So there's four stations where you can do this.

Actually, High Park was the answer I was looking for, although Queen is also legitimate (you cross under at the Queen Street exit, and over at the Shuter Street exit). Bloor is technically correct, since you cross beneath the Yonge tracks via the Bloor-Danforth platform, and over via the mezzanine levels.

But does it really work for Sheppard-Yonge as well? You cross under the Sheppard line tracks using the Yonge platform, but where do you cross over?

The Spadina route that goes from Spadina Station to King St. being the shortest route perhaps.

At the far west end of the Sheppard Line platforms - although you're technically not walking over revenue tracks.

Ah, thanks.

What surface route has the smallest total km driven per day (Mon - Fri)?
No one has got this yet...

I'm guessing 55 Warren Park. Rush-hour only, and even then with only 1 bus IIRC.

 

[ShonTron]

I'd go with that or 120 Calvington - until November, it was one bus on an hour-long round trip.

Though the stats go out the window with the RGS improvements with the 30 minute service minimum 7 days a week.

bingo!

Uh, no. Half-hourly schedule all day.

 

[CDL.TO]

Uh, no. Half-hourly schedule all day.

Oh, right. The big changes at the end of last year. Forgive me, I'm still adjusting. It's still weird to see the constantly-empty Forest Hill bus running at 1am.

 

[Railization]

Maybe an easy one, but how many bus terminals in the current subway network are underground, and which terminals are they?

Lorne Park.

Why was this GO station closed anyway? And when?
