is joking. is sticking out your tongue ...

Actually, the overwhelming number of people I've ever seen use the smiley to indicate they're joking, and to indicate they're serious about something making them happy.

Exactly. can also indicate joking.

I'm still waiting for the promised launch of the redesign 'this spring'.... there's not much spring left.

Like what, 17 days left? TTC behind schedule? You don't say!

If it's anything like the Queen Streetcar, there will be 10 redesigns within a month in August.

I use Linux and Firefox and have major issues with the current TTC site. It shows up looking like a website a "web developer" made in their basement... seriously outdated crap. There must be a plug-in not working that prevents me from seeing the real site.

Here's a bit more info about the myttc.ca site... but no launch date.

Nope, same crap in windows

It seems that there is a little bit of confusion out there regarding TTC's website redesign. Remember that myTTC.ca is not going to be the official TTC's website in any way. It is a private effort, and as that article outlines, is not receiving cooperation from the TTC. The TTC is however apparently in the process of redesigning their offical website, and if I'm not mistaken, that is what this thread is about. So before we turn it into a dedicated myTTC.ca thread, does anyone have any info on what is happening with TTC.ca???

Media Advisory: TTC Previews New Website

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 4, 2008) - The TTC is developing a new website. The media is invited to get a sneak preview tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, June 5 at 2:30 p.m., at Toronto City Hall. TTC Chair Adam Giambrone and Chief Marketing Officer Alice Smith will make a presentation and be available to answer any questions.

The current TTC website was developed in 1998, and no significant changes have been made since its inception, so a makeover is required. The new website is not finished as yet, but the preview version will give you an idea of what to expect when the full site is launched.

No offense to the commission, but that was an anti-climatic click.

It's light years better in terms of design, but it didn't wow me...

wait a minute...

I really like what they did with the schedules page. Much more user friendly. The only thing more I could ask for is a travel time chart for each route.

That's exactly what happened when I looked at it too.. then saw schedule pages, which I liked, and the subway station pages, which i loved, because it looks like it becomes a hub, showing direct links to all the connecting routes and extended information like escalators
