TTC: Other Items (catch all)

Pan drop.

The pantographs installed on the legacy network Flexities are "smart", and are capable of lowering themselves if they detect any situation or motion that could cause damage to either the overhead or themselves.

They are arguably too sensitive however. Early on, a pan drop was considered a major fault and required the car to be removed from service immediately. I guess that they've finally realised that there is no damage to the pantographs when this happens, and so the car (in most cases) can switch to the pole and have its pantograph inspected later.

Finally, a reason why the poles are still useful - though I assume that as they update all the 'frogs' and connections the poles will only work on the straight sections of overhead.
 
TTC and the police can get the ID/IP of the posters who post their videos on YouTube that will lead them to their front door of the poster. Then can round up the rest of the group for some big fines and charges.

The police have already charged a number of drivers who have posted videos of them speeding and sunt driving. This will make a small dent to what is taking place as well cut down people doing things illegal to the point less videos will get posted to stop copy cats trying the same thing.

Now now, it’s hardly reasonable to conflate skateboarding an empty concourse with stunt driving. Deterring skateboarders is the least of the City and TTCs worries.

Legendary compilation, thanks for sharing!
 
More signal issues today on line 1. And to think that the same system will be installed on line 2.
Wonderful news.

They should have kept the legacy signals in place as a backup.

I really don't know what is wrong with the TTC.
They advertised this as the state of the arts bulletproof system and hence they need more money to install it back in 2017. if the results is still a system wide disruption, they shouldn't upgrade Line 2.
 
Also due to the cold weather the homeless people are using the TTC as shelter. There were some people riding the TTC helping the homeless people and guiding them to shelter, but I haven't seen them recently.

More support is needed to help these people who have mental health issues get help. And the issue is to get them help even if they don't consent to it.

On days like today it would be great to have al alternative to use the GO Richmond Hill Line. At least if you could get to Union, you can get anywhere downtown using the streetcar.

There's been a lot of information. There's an entire frequently updated detailed page on their website - https://www.ttc.ca/service-advisories/subway-service/Reduced-Speed-Zones

This is AFTER an audit was forced on them. They've been hiding it for years. But there's always some TTC apologists despite their decades of mismanagement. I can't even even start with the SRT flying off the rails (literally).

Why are closures still constant after ATC upgrades?
Why is Line 1 busted twice in a few months due to "signal issues"?
