@AlexanderGlista @Metrolinx My guess is it's tied to the Crosstown and contractually can't open until the entire project is open
English
If we’re still a while off from opening the Eglinton Crosstown, why doesn’t @Metrolinx open Mount Dennis GO/UP Express station (which looks complete) in advance of the LRT? Would provide a rapid transit link to Union Station, and represent a quick win for the local community.

Eglinton Crosstown (TTC Line 5) light rail vehicles resting at the Mount Dennis MSF. Impatiently waiting to ride this line, when will it ever open?
English
@JayBeeGooner On the 506, ashdale (which gets removed for cafeto already) and either sackville or sumach (very close together). But again the biggest issue imo is tsp and dedicated lanes. Having seen the report though
English
@TransitThinker Long dwell times due to high passenger numbers at stops. Removing stos wont fix that. Riders total travel will increase due to longer walks and longer dwell times at fewer stops. What stops? A stop consolidation report came out on 2014, and IIRC, not much came for the report.
English
Steve has a great post explaining why stop consolidation isn’t that easy to do on downtown routes.

Toronto next 👀👀 Consolidate streetcar stops into ones with nicer shelters, level boarding, and safe crossings.

Bloor Street, Nov. 4, 8:45am. Where is the congestion that @fordnation @PrabSarkaria are making a provincial election issue?
English
@TTChelps the 54 is supposed to be running every 7.5 mins rn but there is a nearly 30 min wait with no service alerts. What's going on?

This was such a terrible and niche joke so ofc nobody got it lol

transit agencies with bad scheduling practices be like

@TransitThinker Are your lights after market? I wanna get some just like those for my bike!

Been riding an ebike for a year now, it's faster than transit, & comparable to driving, at a fraction of the cost, while helping the environment.
Bike lanes keep me (and many others) safe while reducing traffic
Prabmeet Sarkaria@PrabSarkaria
Too many drivers across Ontario are stuck in gridlock for hours every day and bike lanes are making things worse. Next week, we’re introducing legislation that would require cities to get provincial approval for any new bike lanes that require removing a lane of traffic.

@Y0urW3lc0me @DudiEdwards @chennyalan I hope this is a joke, cars have the most risk, not small lightweight bikes
English
@Y0urW3lc0me @chennyalan @DudiEdwards The whole point is bikes are more efficient than cars but yeah I wear helmet, use lights and don't break rules so I don't get fined
English
@Miles_n_Hour Bike lanes literally take people out of cars, the only thing that causes car traffic is cars. There are some reckless cyclists, but there are also tons of reckless drivers, and they still get the most road space
English
@TransitThinker The reason traffic is more congested is because vehicle traffic lanes were used to make bike lanes in most cases. License plates and insurance for bicycles as a user fee should be a consideration due to how ignorant some of these riders are in VEHICLE traffic lanes.
English
@TransitThinker I've had exactly the same experience! I e-bike from the junction to downtown almost every day and prefer it to every other way of getting around the city! Will really suck if some of my bike lanes get removed :(
English
@_ChanFace This doesn't feel much better, would prefer the slow zones to be gone instead of a basic explanation
English
Update: they deleted and posted this instead
Jamie@TransitThinker
lol the TTC now posting that riders shouldn't complain about a subway that can't go faster than 10km/h Keeping trains safe doesn't require slow zones on most transit systems!
Toronto, Ontario 🇨🇦 English
@WBMetro62 @Markster3000 @weather_forkast It's better than Union but not being able to transfer in Scarborough is wild, still a lot of extra time backtracking
English
@_ChanFace But it's "essential" x.com/TTChelps/statu…
TTC Customer Service@TTChelps
(1/2) Ever wonder why the subway slows down? 🚇 It’s because you’re in a Reduced Speed Zone. These zones are essential for completing crucial work like track replacements, and ensure customers are safe until necessary maintenance work is completed.

@OntarioLine construction is chugging along faster than I could make this video! I cover all of the new developments of the project youtu.be/TdBATUbL4AI

English
@not_taylorx As bad as it is, the 25/925/72/100 have been bad before this construction. Scheduling of these routes doesn't seem to factor traffic or school rush hour
English
The lane closures on Overlea Blvd in Thorncliffe Park are causing traffic backups, delaying transit service for those who need it the most. Just waited 30+ mins for a NB 100 bus. The city should restrict Overlea between the EYTC west entrance and the Costco entrance to only buses
