If that is the case, then why not start naming stations for random sci fi/fantasy characters and books? Spock, Narnia, Harry Potter, Darth Vader would all be incredibly unique names.

Continuing the trend of Scarborough Ctr, North York Ctr, Vaughan Metropolitan Ctr, Dundas could've been named Eaton Ctr.

The inverters in this case were I'm pretty sure for the lighting and other auxiliary power, not the actual propulsion system which was DC chopper control from Brush Traction. Overhauling this (especially replacing DC chopper with AC inverter) would have been a much more substantial job. So I would assume they reminded compatible with all the other DC car types.

Another question: if the T1s don't have chopper control like the H5/6s, why do they often (but not always) have a buzzing sound quite similar to the H5/6s (but lower-pitched by an octave), but only when braking, never when accelerating?

With Line 5 and Line 6 opening and freeing up more busses, I wonder if TTC would ever consider starting some ‘node/destinations’ based bus lines. E.g. the accessibility bus line 149 on Bloor from Old Mill to High Park. Could it be turned into a circular line connecting the various business neighbourhood in the area? Bloor West Village, Junction, and Stockyard.
Most lines in Toronto are designed north/south and eat/west lines requiring transfers.
We need more bus routes that connect nodes of populations/shopping/business directly.

Is there any chance the downtown Express is coming back?

TTC wanted to get rid of them for years. Politicians keep getting in the way till the pandemic allow them to finally get rid of them. They are happy that they're gone as these routes were only filled in one direction. The have to pretty much deadhead back the other way making them a terrible use of resources.

Because most of that perception comes from people who don't use transit but are happy to have their opinion swayed by right-wing media who are happy to profit off of public misinformation and fear-mongering.

It's not really media fear-mongering per se, it's what the people who consume that media want to believe is true. The alt-media is simply saying what they know their (paying) audience wants to hear.

There are something like 3000 assaults a year?

Personally I take it often and notice a lot of shady characters. Even the not shady trips are annoying because SOMEONE thinks we all want to hear their tiktok feed or music out loud.

Me too.

I have noticed the following recently:

  • Those who preach the Bible (not actual priests, popes, bishops or pastors) with either drug or mental health issues
  • Those who use drugs on the subway
  • Those who put back a can of cheap beer on the subway in full construction gear
  • Those who try to fight others on the subway for one reason or another without cause
  • Homeless sleeping on entire benches of seats
  • People rambling and talking to themselves
Sometimes I avoid them but that is not always possible.
