TTC Website Redesign

[299 bloor call control.]

Sorry, to direct the appalling comment, was the fact that they launched the site with no system map to come back with the exact same method of delivering it (PDF). I would have hoped they would have implemented something similar to the Google Maps/TTC Map mashup

thanks 299. they used to have an accessible full system map and i can't find it anywhere. so far, the new website is making the experience harder.

Subway stations should have local map

While the station link looks fine, it would be better if a local neighbourhood map be including. Similar to the neighbourhood map that appears on the STM Metro station link.

The subway map:

Is this somekind of preverse joke? I try moving the mouse to, say, Kennedy, and the map keeps moving so I can never get to it!

The previous MAP was huge and took forever to load ...

The tiles are a good idea.

But the previous map was 970 kB (according to my computer), while the new complete map is 1,082 kB.

The new map is slightly larger because they rasterized the street network in the background, but loads faster. The old map had the street lines in a few thousand vector lines, which made it really slow to render/load, despite being smaller.

Sheesh, everyone knows a decent web site needs an animated email gif

And of course, to show some national pride

• * Both the old and new have rasterized street networks
  * Neither have vectors

The old is available still (for now) at:

Another change to the TTC Website. Commission Meetings has been altered. It is now indexed by year, just 2009 for now. Goes to an index by meeting date, ie. April 3, 2009, where there is a further breakdown by Agenda and Reports and a separate link for the Minutes. The Agenda and Reports page lists each report that is accessible.
