    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    It’s been announced that they’re reverting back to the old units probably due to the horrible quality of the current machines.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    In light of all of this, there was actually some enforcement on King during the weekend. Two officers on bikes were stationed at King & Spadina and ticketed at least 3 drivers in the span of 5 minutes that I was there. Some cars even made a U-turn in the middle of the intersection to avoid them...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    The only benefit is that there will be a machine that will have solid reliability compare to the current ones. In the short 3 months that they were used on Spadina back in 2014, I don’t recall it ever being down compared to the current ones. I would also assume that they’ve at least put a...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Looks like the payment machines onboard are reverting back to the old green P style machines. 4469 has been spotted on its burn in with both the current and old ones onboard. EDIT: blurb in the CEO’s report confirms this.

    Heard that the argument against that was it would make people more inclined to rush towards the platforms and in turn, end up hurting themselves through tripping on the escalators/stairs.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Broadview has gotten the new reload machine found at the TYSSE stations and King. EDIT: looks like all the stations that had the first gem reload machines has gotten the new ones.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    And we have 6 flexities just parked up at Exhibition loop for 510 even though it’s not running. Why didn’t they just throw them on King as extras instead of wasting resources by parking them with the drivers.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    It gives you a free transfer on the same route if the reader doesn’t know what route it’s on or if it on a different branch. For example: I hop on the 53 and made a return journey a hour later. It recorded the second tap as being a 53A bus and gave me the transfer even though it’s the same route.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Something interesting while I was looking through the next TTC meeting agenda: Jan Richards and Allan Foster, TTC Farecard Team, discussed the proposed updates to the information displayed on PRESTO fare payment screens. Customers have shared concerns of not being aware of the amount charged...

    Toronto Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    The met runs 3 different types of services during rush hour: all stations, semi fast, and fast. Semi fast and fast services begin to skip stops after Wembley Park when it becomes double track in both direction between Wembley Park and Harrow-on-the-Hill. Bear in mind they only run express south...

    Metrolinx: Bombardier Flexity Freedom & Alstom Citadis Spirit LRVs

    This was already talked about on page 75 of the discussion. For those who may have forgotten or haven't seen it yet, this is what the rear is going to look like. https://cptdb.ca/uploads/monthly_2017_04/SCC.jpg.b26806f892a044fcc68abe37fecbb608.jpg

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Someone decided to post a video of the P1 at College last Thursday on Worldstar. Don’t know if it’s against the rules since it’s NSFW.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Every gate was shut off at all the stations except for the ones in the extension. This meant that they were the only ones online while the ones in the rest of the system was off. The group station managers and station managers could’ve just kept the gates in entry mode instead of shutting them off.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    It’s only day 1 of the new extension and already one of the full service machine at Downsview Park was acting up. It would freeze up once your card history is pulled up. EDIT: I hoped they patched the problem with machines freezing up when people remove their cards mid transaction because...

    Well LilRedDave is proven to be a credible source so I stand by my decision that what your saying is misleading.
