TTC: Other Items (catch all)

[Johnny Au]

That is a very creative design for a ride guide. It reminds me of those crazy children's magazines.

Umm... so in this video it looks like Metrolinx is using the TTC's closing chime on the UPX. I wonder if they got permission to do that.

Um...all GO trains already have that same chime.

 

[TheTigerMaster]

Wow. It's not often that I use GO, so I was unaware of the chimes.

I think this is a great! The TTC used to do more of this in the past and London has a great tradition of supporting local artists by having them create posters. Hopefully we see more of this in the future!

It's reminiscent of the 1971 TTC 50th anniversary brochure. Don't have it handy to scan but I'll see if I can dig it out of the Catacombs.

It's been renamed to "Yo Station". I like it. It's... Unique.

They should rename it "YOLO Station" in honour of Canada's rap star who grew up not too far away.

The Ride Guide cover is the same artist as Lee's Palace exterior (and the former Bamboo too).

An ALRV eastbound on King is stalled at York. Too bad no one bothered adding the very convenient curves that would detour around this problem.

Apparently it is the first three notes of the Sesame Street theme song.

Reminds me of an acid trip. Wonder if Rob Ford had any input in this design...

There's still a lot of older cars in the fleet that haven't been retorfitted with the door chimes or lights.

Did the remove the Yo?

If they're going to do that, they should be renaming Eglinton West station.

Really? I've been on every single GO line and have never not heard those chimes.
