TTC: Other Items (catch all)

[Richard White]

Of course, the problem remains on how do the passengers know a route is "interlined"? Especially for "new" users on the route or routes.

They are notified on the bus.

The 117/69 Interlining is a good example of this. When the 117 approaches Warden Station the announcements state it will continue on from Warden Station as the 69 Warden South. It also instructs people to stay on board to continue their journey.

Today, they "interline" bus routes. Two routes that need to be "interlined" are the 149 ETOBICOKE-BLOOR and 189 STOCKYARDS. The 149 ETOBICOKE-BLOOR bus runs between KIPLING and HIGH PARK stations. This is to ensure customers have accessible connections to the stations and areas around the stations where elevators are being installed. ISLINGTON and OLD MILL stations are not accessible at this time. Neither is HIGH PARK station.

Passengers are told to "transfer" at HIGH PARK station to the 189 STOCKYARDS bus to reach KEELE station, which is accessible. A bit of a problem for the those in wheelchairs. The 149 and 189 should be interlined. Then passengers can stay on the bus to continue their trip going eastbound or westbound.

Or they should just run the 149 bus to Keele Station. It's another 580 metres.

They seem to be working quickly on this. The demolition is swiftly underway while infrastructure work goes on on the other side of the bus bays. I have not seen this level of co-ordination in quite some time and I wonder if it has anything to do with the AODA timelines involved.

There is no more room for another bus to terminate within the KEELE station itself. That is also why the 189 STOCKYARDS bus terminates at HIGH PARK station, and has so since 2019.

Saw this in action yesterday omw to check up on 5707 to make sure it's still there

I'm out of the loop, what's the new bus terminal gonna look like? Similar to VP? Also is Islington next for demolition & rebuild?

It will be very similar to VP.

 

[Amare]

It will be very similar to VP.

In what sense will it be similar to Victoria Park?

A quick search would show that it will not:

Ground level terminal vs individual bays.

You are correct though in that it reminds me alot of Don Mills or Leslie Stations.

 

[JBR]

It will be very similar to VP.

It will be absolutely nothing like VP…have you been to VP station before?

If anything it’s Kennedy Station 2.0 but with the subway over and above rather than directly below. Or a better example is Kipling GO bus terminal with a bridge over to the tracks.

Many hundred of times since 1992.

I also watched them rip down the roof of Bay 1 from Albion Avenue.

Not sure if this is the right place, but there was a TR on Line 2 this afternoon:

So tell me how it will be anything like VP at all. In fact, it’s total opposite of VP. Only thing that makes them similar is that they’ll have buses

I assume you haven’t seen the rendering of new Warden Station then

Looks like deadheading from Greenwood to YUS. Nothing to unusual
