New Yorks new R211's do this as well. If New York can figure it out then there is no excuse for us beyond laziness, incompetence, and a continued culture that rewards mediocrity.

You’re saying about this organization that doesn’t have any technical expertise to implement this?
They only figured out how to display something different on the TR screens after a decade. As for the bus LCD displays, they are still reeling to figure out how to organize it.
Someone from there basement can do it but they don’t seem like they can could.

I use the "Efficient TTC" on my smartphone to find where the train car will be closest to the escalator at stations that I want to use and haven't been before in a long time.
Noticed that it hasn't been updated in a while. Still show Line 3 as Scarborough (not Ontario Line).

Greetings from the 39 degree oven that is Budapest!
Thought I'd share these with you for those who may be interested.
Note the wayfinding signage which is far more helpful than anything I've seen in Toronto.
Now it's off to the Grand Market Hall! Enjoy your day everyone

Did try this last night and it broadly works but isn't definitive enough for me - i'd prefer car numbers instead of broad Front/Rear. You know what would make it easier to know what car we're boarding? Platform doors!
If I were to improve this further i'd build in station exits into the wayfinding. For example, it told me to exit Front but didn't tell me what station exit to take. In my instance last night it would have recommended the Russett Ave Exit at Dufferin station.
An aside, I was stuck in the College-St.Clair L1 closure last night. Despite it occurring for 15+ minutes by the time I boarded there was no announcement on the train from when I boarded at King until we stopped short of College where we were all told the train would be terminating. As usual, promised shuttle buses at street-level but did not see any.

The TTC is planning on relocating the 26 to Rosedale station. This means St. George will have no bus service left. I wanted to photograph this cute little bus bay just in case the area gets redeveloped.

Also, new Don Valley Line 5 maps have been installed at the surface stops.

Woah, I had suggested that exact change to the 26 in their survey.. very cool!
Curious about the new Line 5 signs, and how they decided what would be filled lines (underground?) instead of outlines (at grade?). May be confusing if the service pattern really does turn half the trains back at Laird. Also hides the "underground-ness" of Don Valley and Kennedy stations.

I imagine, but don't know, that the terminal will be demolished as part of the plans for the expansion of St.George Station. (or maybe before).
Those are likely pushed off into the 2030s.....I'd have to look it up, but the intent is to add side platforms on one side for both levels, similar to Bloor-Yonge's Line 2 project

Consultations for the 2026 Service Plan will take place in July. The details aren't out yet. But the high level page is up:

From the above, we can see the communities getting attention this year.

Who could have forseen this?
Also, I can see out my window right now a very long line of westbound streetcars stopped on Queen.
Eastbound streetcars seem to be moving though. No idea what's happening.

Yes, we just walked by huge line of 10 or 12 504 and 501 near Jarvis, all going west. Many were signed as Short Turn Church. So someone seems to be trying to manage the situation.

I notice that out of service New Flyer Artics head westbound on the 401 near the 427. Are they going to Wajax for maintenance?

TTC Strategic Planning Committee to hold first meeting on July 10
July 7, 2025
The TTC Strategic Planning Committee will hold its first meeting on Thu., July 10, 2025. The meeting will be a hybrid model, whereby Commissioners will have the option to attend in-person or remotely. The public also has the option to attend and make deputations in-person or depute virtually. The hybrid meeting will begin online at 1 p.m. and be streamed live on the Official TTC YouTube Channel.
For those attending in-person, the Committee meeting will be held in the 7th Floor Executive Board Room, 1900 Yonge St. (above Davisville Station on Line 1). The Committee will conduct the meeting using an online video conferencing platform.
Details of the hybrid model meeting are as follows:
Date: Thursday, July 10, 2025.
Time: 1 p.m.
Location: 7th Floor Executive Board Room, 1900 Yonge St. The meeting will also be live-streamed on the Official TTC YouTube Channel.
On April 16, the TTC Board established a Strategic Planning Committee and appointed the following members: Alejandra Bravo (Chair), Jamaal Myers, Fenton Jagdeo, Joe Mihevc, and Dianne Saxe. Commissioners also approved the Terms of Reference for the Strategic Planning Committee.
The Strategic Planning Committee assists the TTC Board in managing strategic planning and priorities, focused on two core strategic directions of the Board-approved 2024-2028 Corporate Plan, Moving Toronto, Connecting Communities:
• Strategic Direction 2: Attract New Riders, Retain Customer Loyalty.
• Strategic Direction 3: Place Transit at the Centre of Toronto’s Future Mobility.
The Committee will be scheduled to meet at least twice annually, with one meeting held before Board consideration of the TTC’s Annual Operating and Capital Budgets.
TTC Board and Committees of the Board materials are now housed and publicly available on the City’s Toronto Meeting Management Information System (TMMIS) to improve and streamline access to documents and decisions. Meeting materials from 2024 and earlier will continue to be available at ttc.ca until further notice.
