    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Rode the 504 through this morning at about 7:30 AM. Couple of things to note: 1. Far side stops make a big difference in terms of dwell time. Far less time spent waiting at green lights while riders board only to have the light change red as soon as the doors close up. 2. Riders seem as...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    4447 was spotted yesterday in the east end (by my daughter) sporting a "just arrived" sign and, I assume, making the trip over to Leslie.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    The ties had "6" stencilled on the sides. Perhaps that's an indication of class...but I'm nothing more than a casual railfan and someone else might have more info on that number.

    Toronto Queens Quay & Water's Edge Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Give it some time...likely they want to allow for some settling, and also perhaps needed the path open prior to the Canada Day weekend.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Heading home from a trip to Vancouver, where I had the chance to see how Compass works out there. I purchased a regular, reloadable card from a fare vending machine at YVR and loaded it up with $20 in funds. They charge the same $6 for the card, but if you return it, you get that back. I also...

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    Victoria Park Albion entrance gates are done and functional as of a few days ago. Much nicer feel in there compared to the floor-to-ceiling old gates.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    It's also very easy to plan out and take a trip that takes advantage of this. For example, if I take a 514 Cherry from Dufferin and King to Spadina, I can stop, go to MEC, shop and then catch a 504 also eastbound at Peter and be on my way without paying another fare. Presto records that as a...

    Work has started on the secondary gates at Victoria Park. So far the old turnstiles have been removed with temporary fencing up to block access in and out.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Why don't they start by enforcing the HOV rules that are already signed along King St.? Streetcars and taxis only during rush hour. Even some of the street HOV diamonds are still there.

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    Typical UT snarky answer to a simple question about how the new gates function in the event of a power failure. The community here is always so welcoming. The question remains: What happens in the event of a power failure? Do the new Presto gates unlock when unpowered?
