Sheppard Line Purple

[Dan416]

If Bloor-Danforth ever crosses Etobicoke Creek along Dundas it'd become the Bloor-Danforth-Dundas line. Or maybe Dundas-Bloor-Danforth line?

The YUS line should become just the Yonge-University line. After all, once running down Yonge (serving Ryerson), it runs up University and then connects the city's two big universities.

To compact and poeticize it further, let's call it the Varsity Line - Ryerson, U of T, York.

No, it’s Pantone 220C (for coated stock).

On the Ride Guide, it's the CMYK equivalent of Pantone Purple, not 220. I'm really not that surprised that they are using a different colour in the stations. Typical of the TTC.

The Y-U-S should be renamed the 1/Yellow line.

The B-D the 2/Green line.

Sheppard should be the 3/Purple, etc.

GO should letter their lines...

Lakeshore West should be the A/whatever colour they want

Milton should be B/whatever colour they want

Georgetown would be the C/whatever colour they want, etc.

That would be similar to Paris where the subways are numbered and the regional rails are lettered. Colours should be used as a secondary way to determine the line. The names we use now -- "Yonge-University-Spadina subway," "Georgetown corridor," etc. -- should be phased out as they are a mouthful anyway and not fully accurate.

And they also change! Witness the former Bradford Line is now the Barrie Line.
