Broadview has 6 bus routes that feed into it and Pape has 3. Chester we can say is probably all foot traffic. Donlands has 2 buses that feed into it. Bayview and Leslie I would say is decent with 1 bus route each feeding it

Im just an average joe, but can't they implement presto readers with buttons on express routes, then program the buttons for certain things? For example, Default - Full fare. Button 2 - Express Top-up (which the backend checks if there's a current fare paid or metro pass enabled) similar to...

My buddy told me there is a bug with the york region express routes. I believe he said if he takes a regular bus to catch the express bus, only the regular fare is charged.

I always felt that the RT's last train going north/east should be timed to the last subway train that arrives at kennedy. However, if you arrive @ kennedy station after 1:30 (which is entirely possible), you are screwed. There's no easy way to get to STC. I welcome the extended hours to STC.

Not sure if mentioned but does TTC have someone audit transactions or is it that the bus syncs too slow? What happens was, my wife tapped at STC, took 129 to steeles, got on bus #53 with a paper transfer and got off at kennedy. 3.5 hours later, wife tapped on bus #43, and tapped again at bus...

Drove on Victoria Park the other day, and noticed his 2 bus signs said POP in effect. Was that by accident?

Can someone explain to me how YRT and TTC fares in regards to presto? I haven't taken it in years and may need to take it tomorrow. On the TTC website, it says I cannot pay my YRT portion of the fare via presto and it must be token + supplement or YRT ticket. On the YRT website, it says...

Don't even have to go as far as Montreal to see this, Oshawa does this during rush hour for the lights in between their one way streets downtown.

Was about to say, Bell's getting competitive(for once) with their gigabit speed

That's meant for the people from Sheppard to access the DVP. Most use it to by pass traffic however....

I am looking for info as well. Condo corp sent us a letter to indicate if you do NOT want bell to wire your suite, please sign here. Bell is scheduled to come in June.

Flexibility is a big thing. I use to commute from 2 carlton all the way to Middlefield and Steeles. I would leave my office at 5:30pm, get on the train at college, change to line 2, change to line 3, get to my bus bay just in time for the 615 bus to Steeles. my bus ride was about 25 minutes...

According to that, 18+12 bus bays now? Where did 34 come from?

At the same time, all the bashing of SSE has disappeared from the front page of thestar.....:p

So from the sounds of it, 34 doesn't sound absurd when it's supporting the current levels+ leaving a some for expansion or contingency
