I’ll just add, hopefully they hire her again to continue this motif with the Ontario Line station there.

Regardless of what Science Centre station will be renamed to, ”Total Lunar Eclipse” by Sarah Morris will (thankfully) always reflect its’ original location. I absolutely love the ”molecular” nature… Source The Ontario Science Centre will always live on through her pieces.

Just a thought… one day we might want to achieve a unified exterior livery for all the various operators in the GTA(H). This is what I hope would be an outcome of the Metrolinx ”T” branding. Buses should have a unified exterior livery, but then the individual TA could customize the interior...

Apologies, I took Line 2 between Warden and VP yesterday after a long time, and to my utter horror, I saw how the TTC had installed track lighting on that open ”railroad” stretch. The job they did looks utterly atrocious. They just cut the (edit: 55) year-old fence in sections to make room for...

I’m not trying to derail this discussion, but I can’t think of anywhere more appropriate to post this. I’m seriously wondering what the TTC intends to do with the ”Lite-Brite” maps on the TRs in the long-term. They can get away with it for now with Lines 5/6 (maybe even program the...

At least the new Stadler Flirts for Ottawa seemingly took a lot of knowledge gained from Helsinki’s (and now VR’s) order: Source Also, there’s this article from Railway Gazette from 2008 (sorry for the paywall): Winterised wider Flirt

I must say @grammin, that: ”I’m sorry”. I really am! I had a bad day and I took it out on you very unnecessarily. I really do appreciate your videos. I won’t mention any names, but some bad apples have ruined things for me by bombing threads with totally unrelated posts. Still, I refuse to...

I appreciate some of your videos, although I skip through your commentary and keep you on mute. But please don't try to derail a thread, to try to gain popularity/monetization for your own YouTube channel. If I want to see it, I'll go there... I was trying to have a serious discussion about...

This is fantasy, but I don’t even see the need for a separate Line 4 station at Sheppard West (Downsview). They could connect the Line 4 tracks to the Line 1 tracks heading NW, and turn Downsview Park (GO) into the transfer station for southbound Line 1 passengers, and then Line 4 trains could...

As someone who spent half my life in an apartment on the SW corner of Bathurst/Finch growing up there, and relying daily on either the 36 or the 7/160 (yes, I loved the Utah buses we leased!). I am really peeved about the general push on this forum to extend the Finch West LRT any further east...

Just to carry on with what @Coruscanti Cognoscente was talking about in the Ontario Line thread. Here’s a picture of a Fishbowl with blue Ontario plates: Source I really do appreciate Ford trying to bring back the (historic) blue plates, but I don’t appreciate him giving up on them. If my...

Regarding the YRT Final Copy 2023 Transit Initiatives, on pages 25-26 (28-29 in reader). I’m rather disappointed by their decision to extend the 24 to Gormley GO (peak-only), instead of the 90 like they were originally planning on. It would’ve made for a much more direct route from Don Mills...

My trust only goes so far when we’re also heading towards a digital dollar. Paired with a Chinese-style social credit score system, 15-minute cities can become prisons for those who don’t comply. Here’s Plannedopolis, for those who aren’t aware: This isn’t the hell I want to live in. (And...

My uncle who worked in the Soviet Union would tell me, the guards told you: ”This is where you eat and sleep, and this is where you work. This is the pathway leading between the two. You’re not allowed to leave it.” That’s all I’ll say without getting political - this is a...

^ Be careful what you wish for…

With Gare Centrale as the current terminus, and GBL being so close, I wouldn’t expect much delays (that they haven’t already planned for). Trains would already be travelling slower approaching the interlocking there. (Edit: unless they plan on using part of the tunnel to turn the trains around...

^ Guess it’s better to pay the people installing the new equipment twice, instead of having some foresight when every agency around you including Ottawa is doing it for Presto.

Simply for the reason that all of the 905-agencies and GO Transit (edit: and OC Transpo) obviously seem to be planning on implementing this capability, why would the TTC opt out with the faregates?

Since I previously spoke, the TTC has indeed removed the Barcode stickers from the bus/streetcar units (so @EastYorkTTCFan was correct) and started to cover the scanners up, as is evidenced here. Regardless, the (edit: new) current top reader placement on the faregates is far better, in my...

Ah, thank you for sharing that. I hadn’t yet seen an official date, but makes sense they’d open it with the other branches. Ps. This will be my 100th post. Hopefully now I’ll lose my ”New Member” status after 15 years. Yay! 🥳
