The schedules of the various politicians drove this being on a Friday.....not the media availability.

If this had been on a Sunday....reporters would have groaned....but their bosses would have said "suck it up and cover the story".

They don't have enough to utilize the full capacity of the ATC/ATO, that is true.

But they have more than enough equipment to operate full service on the extension at all times, and to have a modest increase in service over what is currently possible.

To clarify, by “full service”, I meant service levels that saturate the capacity of ATO, particularly on areas of Line 1 where crowing is most critical.

The media can show up anytime, the politicians are the tough ones to schedule. (We decided to skip this morning's circus; we'll be happy enough to be there on Sunday with everyone else.)

Now do the very same photo op for the sharing of the transit operating budget subsidy. What venue would the ribbon cutting be done at?

They're probably arguing over the 33/33/33 operating subsidy spit and who pays the remaining /1. :(

I'm afraid Tory would be standing on stage by himself; so lets just take it in the mayors office.

Looks like the TTC just pushed Sunday's schedule changes to the website two days early, overwriting the current schedules. This is kind of annoying considering I was still planning to use some of those routes before the subway's opening on the 17th.

They always seem to do this on a Friday before a change.

You should be able to pull the old information using Google Maps, Triplinx, or the old pages themselves with https://web.archive.org/web/*/ttc.ca
