TTC Chair Myers this morning on CBC Metro Morning said that TSP will be implemented by end of May, in a conversation about Line 5's opening date. Figure he meant a more aggressive implementation, but he didn't elaborate. Don't remember if he said it that certainly or if it was hedged with "I...

Planned and told straight down the barrel of a news camera at a news conference are different things. Has been anything but common knowledge. Strikes me as working to build a narrative to temper expectations since despite only being the operator, TTC knows they'll receive blame for everything...

Josh Colle just now has said, at a storm update with the mayor, that Line 5 will not first open up with full hours and instead will expand to a full opening when key metrics are hit.

Just saw this graph in a CBC article comparing the 1999 storm to yesterday's and our snowfall so far this month https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto-snow-military-help-9.7061297

In an update with the Mayor on the news, Josh Colle said TTC employees (believe he said "several hundred") are hand shovelling on the outdoor sections to get the subway back in operation. Also said they are (or were, last night) storing trains in the tunnels so that service in the morning could...

On an update from the Mayor and some sr staff, City Manager said snow removal will begin Wednesday. Also that they're doing things right now like punching holes into big snow banks so people can get on snow banks in the time before removal begins. City Manager says more areas are available for...

Yea, I remember telling a friend that its days might be numbered well over a year ago because someone, maybe the local councillor, lamented its speculated closure.

I think she also sees using them as politically dubious, potentially making enemies with a devout NDP base who sees the tool as undemocratic, and giving her opponents ammunition.

People absolutely stand close to the edge all the time, either on the yellow strip or right at the edge of it, and often have no choice but to stand so close during rush hour or after events finish. I would be extremely concerned with narrowing areas for the risk it would pose when the platform...

Bradford posted rage bait about bike lanes being clear of snow while roads aren’t and it’s got under the skin of a number of people including Toronto Mike, who calls him out for lying https://www.torontomike.com/2026/01/brad-bradford-is-wrong-about-winter-bike-lane-maintenance/

Does anyone know if the contract even permits the TTC to remove stops?

Juking the stats!

Councillor Moise asked Toronto Parking Authority at Budget Committee, "With a 10.8 million budget in 2026 for Toronto Bike Share how many more docks, iconic bikes, and e-bikes does TPA aim to acquire?" Answer: "Approximately 900 new bikes, of which 260 are e-bikes, 73 stations, and 1500 docking...
