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

Is that net of the bus route changes?

It's to subway ridership, not to TTC ridership. So (IIRC) it counts new riders who are attracted to the TTC as a result of the TYSSE and riders who now need a subway ride to complete their trip when they didn't previously (e.g. Yonge/Sheppard to York U).

This is a joke right? It's ridiculously easy to get around downtown compared to anywhere else. Sure, it's busy at 5pm, but so is the metro of every other major city in the world.

This is a joke, right? Try getting east to west downtown along King/Queen.

Though we'll see how much the King miracle changes the game - especially if they do the same to Queen.

Should happen to Dundas and Carlton as well. Maybe to a lesser extent (ban all left turns), but there should be some transit priority on all downtown streetcar lines.

I didn't notice if it had come up at all.......

Are there any regular Yonge-line users who have noticed any relief/new capacity since the TYSSE opened?

Certainly there was some hope that a sizable portion of Finch West Bus riders and a portion of those on services further north would use the new extension instead of commuting through Finch, down Yonge.

Really need to find a reason to take the line up on a weeday rush hour to see use levels. Opening day is nice, but isn't a real show of use.

At York University stn today. Line up to go up the escalator. The extension works. View attachment 131584

There must have either been some kind of delay, or this was at some point of the afternoon rush. I've taken the extension twice during the morning rush hour and there wanst any station that was packed like this. Although there was certainly a healthy amount of people going southbound at most stations with the exception of Downsview Park and Highway 407. On the northbound side, the trains have been virtually empty after Finch West during the morning rush. Afternoon rush I cant comment on so much.

My first reaction to this was “you’ve got to be kidding”. But if that is it, then the Libs have to go. Too tired.

You thought they would change?

Not at all, I just want to see how low Del Duca goes before all of our eyes roll back to the point that we can see the inside of our heads.

That hasn't happened yet?

I went by York University at around 2 pm and 7 pm today. There was actually an sizeable amount of people boarding and alighting the platform at both times, compared to the day before. No pictures though.

They mentioned something about having an "offical" opening on Monday.
