If you don't know which direction is north, that signage is not for you. Again, I'm not sure why it has to be taken away just because you personally have no use for it? Should we cancel the terminal station labels because I have no use for them? As for following a single direction, with the...

Except that the schedule sign ups for the September board period occur some time in advance, so if there is any time frame in which they can make adjustments to the schedule, it is a trivially small one.

Funny, I don't think of Toronto as being either unfinished OR unambitious because they don't cover over rail lines. I don't find them to be remotely aesthetically unpleasing, and I think that motions to deck over rail lines and bury transit overhead power lines are cynical ideas to waste money...

Somewhere far far away, like a ГУЛАГ , perhaps? Not officially, but if anyone else gets it I'll eat my hat. It would be political suicide to give the order to someone else.

What's the current status of the refurbished cab cars? I believe there was one that was running quasi regularly later in the summer. Is it still in service or has it vanished into the aether again?

You think someone who is so mentally far gone that they stink of piss and are screaming at other people is someone that can be ticketed away under a bylaw infraction?????????????

You omitted a rather significant boilerplate on your post: "...in my opinion." Because that's all this post is, your opinion that cardinal directions are useless and that navigating by terminal station is easier. That may be the case for you, and you are entitled to feel that way, but it is...

The Toronto Police aren't even interested in doing their jobs on the ground, and we think they'll go after someone who posted a video of themselves SKATEBOARDING in a place they weren't supposed to on YouTube? Riiiiiiiight.

At the risk of being controversial - I'm not seeing the hooplah here, as compared to any other condo project. I don't like it - it's ugly and megalomaniacal and in terms of scale it doesn't fit in with the pre-existing built form at all - but what condo project does?

And as I said upthread, how exactly does someone decide what is and isn't loitering? If we stick to the spirit of the rule then we have to ticket anyone who is standing around taking photos instead of using the transit system for traveling (AND anyone who is waiting for someone to arrive by a...

Perhaps, but I expect more comprehensive and constructive solutions coming from our politicians. What the hell are we paying them for? You don't get to clear out an encampment and then wipe your hands and say job done.

Like hell they will. They're homeless. What do you expect them to do, exactly?

Clearing these encampments is an insane game of whack a mole. Kick them out of one park, and they'll just set up shop in another park. It's a big city, and there's lots of remote ravines that aren't well patronized or known. I don't like seeing the encampments in parks any more than the next...

You've always had to be at least a little wary for your personal safety on the TTC. It wasn't all sunshine and butterflies pre COVID. I remember as a child seeing that my home station Kennedy was considered one of the sketchier parts of the TTC and being freaked out - that was 2008.

What concerns should we have now?

Wow. Krásna Hôrka castle in Slovakia was burned by careless teenagers back in March 2012 and it's still not done. Can we get some now out of work French folk to help us along?

Brilliant! A society with laws and bylaws only works if those laws and bylaws are simple, clear, easy to follow, and not overbearing on existence. You shouldn't need to carry a rule book on your person to know what it is you are and aren't allowed to do. How is ANYONE supposed to know that...

And how do these geniuses think that people get bikes onto those counter flow trains, teleportation?!

It won't, and there will be no enforcement of the ebike bylaw either, and within a few months it will fall out of the public consciousness and we will all go back to what we were doing before.

Theoretically a rail car like a subway or streetcar is good for 30 years without a rebuild. Add in one comprehensive rebuild and suddenly that number shoots up to 50-60 years. Of course, those numbers have some leeway to them. One hopes that: a) it's possible to rebuild these highly...
