Are these line 2 trains 100% going to be metal cattle cars again or could we get fully painted bodies like the rest of the civilized world? (And Montreal)

What's wrong with the Line 1 trains? Look pretty sharp to me!

Of all the things to complain about with respect to the TTC, the colour/finish of the subway trains seems pretty minor?

TTC report finds a problem with banning e-bikes and scooters
The TTC board asked for a report on the equity impact of a proposed seasonal ban on low-income people and racialized groups.

Get out of here with that common sense! Kneejerk responses driven by hightened emotions in the wake of an accident are the way.
Hard to believe Metrolinx is doing anything that we should want to emulate. Life is truly strange LOL

Obviously the cursed outcome would be leaving Metrolinx to become TTC CEO.

I am guessing he's running before some more news blows up about the Crosstown and we hear it will now open in 2026.

Apparently the tried painting the H5's but changed their minds
As "minor" as it seems go to Japan and each station has it's own door closing chime (that you can stitch together into a song!)
It's very rare in my life a service or company that cares about "minor" things doesn't also do an amazing job at the "core" issues.

No need to speak it into existence!
Though it's hard to believe anyone could be more ineffectual and feckless than Rick Leary.

Or maybe they're playing a sick game of musical chairs with Rick Leary going to Metrolinx, and Verster going to the TTC.
Nothing would surprise me in the mess of a system that we have.
(To be clear i'm joking about the above, Verster would never take a step down to the TTC. Leary on the other hand...)

What's the chance of one or more of the bidders suing TTC to force a contract with TTC as some kind of compensation? Where TTC might get two suppliers as a result of this predetermined decision?
With politicians saying that Alstom is getting the contract without it being a sole sourced process. I would assume that opens TTC up for some kind of legal action? But then again, it's not TTC saying their getting Alstom.
We've seen a similar situation in Montreal were Alstom sued STM and forced their way to be involved in that order.
Mind you, I'm kinda dreaming, but kinda seriously asking as well.

TTC approves sweeping ban of e-bikes, e-scooters on public transit system
The ban on e-bikes and e-scooters during the winter months is effective immediately.

The claim of undue harm to racialized gig workers was ridiculous. People of all races deserve to be safe. If Uber, Skip, etc. want to use the TTC as part of their business model, well too bad.

Yes, one would have thought that the safety issue should always have been foremost. If an e-bike is likely to self-ignite (which appears to happen, occasionally) it hardly matters to others in the vicinity or on the train if it belongs to a white millionaire or an immigrant gig worker.Paywall free: https://archive.is/XdBGxTTC approves sweeping ban of e-bikes, e-scooters on public transit system
