TTC: Other Items (catch all)

You had to look out the window for signs on the platform, listen for station announcements, or tilt your neck 90° to read one of those digital screens. How perfectly quaint!

2. Ta-da! We’ll show your predicted location on the map, count down the stations, and update your ETA

Yes. Even without knowing your GPS coordinates.

@Coolibop It's one of the problems they're trying to solve.

It might be computationally expensive to do the dynamic searching. For non-royale users they even limit the number of options you see when searching for a route. To do a reroute you need to repoll yourself to look at alternate route options.

When is it overloaded? I take it at rush hour every day, and with the exception of the odd bus heading to Yonge in the mornings that is running in a gap, the buses are busy but never uncomfortably so.

Now, the Warden bus, on the other hand....

Very interesting, I usually take that bus fairly frequently from Eglinton Station heading eastbound from Yonge and have experienced crush load (mainly from students heading to school) which eases up after Bayview. Afternoon peak i've experienced the same beginning at Brentcliffe heading westbound.

Theoretically they could boost the 56B frequency to address the issue, the 34 is the route the came to mind easy since the frequency gets screwed up quite a bit from my experience.

That good old Warden bus hasnt changed at all huh? I used it fairly frequently back 6-7 years ago, that thing was a mess along with 17 Birchmount which was just as bad or if not worse from my experience.
 
Interesting tidbit..

The shops at Warden Station are closing at the end of November 2024. I spoke with one of the little coffee shops today who confirmed it.

No word on when the bus bays as we know them today will close.

It will close once the new temporary bus bays are ready for service from what I saw last week.

With the parking lot closing on the 19th, I expect it will be use for the bus bay.

The plan is to have a temporary terminal in the south lot.

That is nowhere near ready yet.
 
I need to say this, the Leslie bus divide at Sheppard (51A/151) is so misinformed. Constituents were complaining to Shelley Carroll about the delays caused to the 51 by Line 5 construction on Eglinton.

That's over.

Their complaint was that all they wanted to do was access Line 4. This is very shortsighted however, considering that the opening of Line 5 will significantly change travel patterns, and this linear transfer will eventually become resented by the very same people.

The bald headed (Service Planning) gentleman in a suit at the Leslie Station Open House said to me that passengers counts show many people being inconvenienced travelling from south of York Mills to north of Sheppard. [Many people transfer at Lawrence.]

It's an infrequent bus, and I highly doubt 51As and 151s will hold for transferring passengers. The most congested segment on Leslie is between Esther Shiner and York Mills, the joint section which will cause the 151 to be just as unreliable as the 51A. I tried to fight it...

As a ~20 year constituent, the 51A should continue north to loop around Ravel (Finch), compensating for the TTC's reluctance to extend the 169A to Leslie. The 151 shouldn't go south of the 401 ever - it should serve the new towers in the former Canadian Tire Distribution Centre lands between Leslie and Bessarion (Burbank).

There is a post on the "I'm from SCARBOROUGH!" FB page claiming it will be at the end of the month. Fair to dismiss that as being fake news?

What do you expect from a website that is home to conspiracy theories such as the 2020 “stolen election” and COVID-19 conspiracies?

Hence the name Fakebook.

You realize not every single thing on Facebook is made up, right?

Facebook doesn't have an exclusive license to bullshit. You'll see as much of it on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and any other website you can name.
