Does the TTC take vehicles out of service when there's blood on a train or if someone throws up?

Yes

The subway car is seal up until the train reach the end of the line.

Does the TTC take vehicles out of service when there's blood on a train or if someone throws up?

My experience (injury occurring before bus left station, blood on floor) says yes.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

That's my experience as well. I wonder if that would be an appropriate time to use the emergency alarm?

The fifth project, he said, is changing the culture of the TTC so riders and employees feel valued. He referred to the old “Neanderthal†TTC management style.

I'm so happy to hear him say that.

Probably not

Well maybe.

Transit City rises from the grave!

I'll settle for not trying to cancel Finch and ordering additional downtown vehicles.

 

[JasonParis]

Yup, for those of us who see beyond subways vs. buses binary, saving Finch and getting some additional Flexity's for the legacy network is paramount for the next four years.

Glad to hear him talking about using bus lanes, express buses and all door boarding to speed up existing service cheap & fast.

However, I'd like to see bus lanes implemented right if we are doing them: they have to be enforced, remain bus-only at all times, and be very clearly marked. Also currently a driver must use the bus lane to turn right, these bus lanes should be implemented such that cars have no excuse to go into them.

So far I like the way this guy is talking.

Won't cars still need to cross the bus lane to make right turns though?
