TTC: Other Items (catch all)

[DSC]

When the train is full or with the audio not always clear such notifications would be extremely useful, especially for the dead.

I fear it may be too late for them! :->

Oooooopa! Remind me not to type with one hand and drink my Starbucks Reserve in the other....

does anyone know why the 514 Cherry has been removed from NextBus?

Temporary until the 504A/B/C/D arrangement is unwound?

Likely because the 514 doesn't exist right now.

Yes. Returns September 2.

(e.g. They seem incapable of programing proper destination signage for the Flexities when they are on fairly long-term short-turns - for example 504 at the moment.)

This is now fixed, there was a database issue, now addressed, that was preventing it being fixed sooner.

What you need to know about the TTC’s new 2-hour transfer policy

Anyone know if there are any updates on the state of the wireless network in the TTC Subway tunnels? Is there any reason that the big 3 might get over the fact that they didn't build out the infrastructure themselves and activate cellular data already?

Hopefully that will end the stop announcements declaring "Short Turn" at every stop.

Indeed, it may tell you "Short Turn" 20x times a trip, but it will never tell you where it terminates (in case you miss it on the roll sign).

That should also no longer happen.

For those of you (us) interested in how the installation of new overhead is progressing may be interested to know that the King/Church intersection seems to be completed and they have marked where new poles are needed at King & Parliament. I think all the intersections and much of the tangent wiring on King are now completed or underway. (They seem to have installed new wire but not, yet in many places, new hangers, from about York to Sumach (and on parts of Broadview.)

TTC tender call on MERX. Dated 20 August.


The TTC requires the services of a consultant to provide professional services to the TTC in the form of a Feasibility Study and Business Case Report that will, investigate the retrofitting of all existing stations with a Platform Edge Doors (PED) system and adding PEDs to future extensions lines as well as providing the TTC with the necessary tool for projecting consequences of the initiative of implementing the installation of PEDs throughout its subway system.

The last time I looked over a month ago, King/Shaw, Church and Parliament Intersection were not done or started,

King/Queen/Queenways intersection will not be done until 2019 and it will be done when the intersection and the new ROW is done. This includes all lines into the yard.

I don't know if the OS was converted between Dundas and Queen on Broadview after Gerrard Rebuilt, but wasn't after they did Dundas intersection.

If they get King intersections done from Bathurst to the east, 509, 510, 511, 512 and 514 can use pans only on that street to/from the Barns.
