And at York Mills, if you want filthy hands, enter/exit by the secondary south way, not the primary north way...

They do have floor cleaning machines that go around. That might explain why the corners look dirtier as the machines can't get right in there.
The mop and bucket brigades clean the station walls, or any spills/vomit on the floor.
EDIT: I have to ask... what size coffee cups are people carrying on the subway? Sometimes I swear it looks like a gallon of coffee has been dumped on the floor.

Riding time of 28 minutes from York Mills to College off-peak? I don't think so - you can go from Finch to College in less than that on a weekday with delays included.

Agreed. I regularly rode from Finch to St. Andrew in ~30 minutes consistently enough that I was never more than 5 minutes early or late for work.

Yes, I noticed that Sunday late afternoon.
I also noticed that the shelter outside at the 506 stop at Main Station smelled of urine. Not sure if they power washed that after I left or not.

Though when I said corners, I meant a couple of feet, not right in the corner ...
Do they have enough floor cleaning machines? Some of the floors look like it's been a long time since they got there.

Something I had to deal with getting on the subway at Kipling. Took up nearly a quarter of the car's entire floor. Sheesh.
(mind you, the washroom at that station isn't any better, at the very least.)

This AM 9:30, 21 minutes, This PM 3:15 24 minutes. I am including time waiting on the platform waiting for a train, are you?

18 minutes is the scheduled travel time without waiting.
Previously you said it was 28 minutes without waiting for the train. Now it's 21-24 minutes including waiting for the train?

Yes, that is correct. Some days are faster than others but none are faster than driving.

If you've gone by Pape station lately, you might have noticed that the station is much brighter at platform level. It has recieved new fluorescent lights, and triangular shaped cases that allow more light to go through. Half of the eastbound platform is yet to be done. A small detail that makes a big difference.

They seems to have been put in last week. Really makes the place seem less dingy.

^ It appears so nfitz, I saw the old ones being taken down last week. You can really see the difference between the old and new fixtures on the eastbound platform, nice contrast between the the old and new.

The Pape tile is not being taken down, though, maybe destroyed, they are going to build (according to the plans I was made aware of)....a steel bracket system, anchored into the existing tile, and the new tiles will 'hang' on it......or be latched some how.

That said, I really can't say I find anything redeeming about the current design....but to each their own.
