TTC is having a totally normal morning with two mechanical breakdowns westbound on line 2

Catching the 15 eastbound East of Kipling at 5:30 AM is the closest you can get to edging on the #TTC you can get without taking your clothes off.
A Finch fixer? Not a bad idea from @graphicmatt.com@bsky.brid.gy's latest column which also calls out the perils of P3 partnerships. Not just for Finch, but also the City's snow clearing contract and the recycling fiasco since Circular Materials took over. #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

“Riders don’t care about divided responsibilities; they just want good, reliable service.
Toronto council wants to encourage more transit use for a growing city, but the credibility of transit depends on systems that work.”

A detailed discussion of the car-centric choices which led to poor design & performance for Line 6 (and soon Line 5 too), from @notjustbikes
"Doing the right thing the wrong way" as @BrentToderian puts it, will damage transit progress in Toronto. It's vital that these new lines be improved, quickly.
Last time a new webpage like this went live on the TTC website, a launch day was out in the media within I think it was two weeks, for about two weeks later. So I think we can expect some news soon.
(omfg i hope they make this launch a better result)
Another sign that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT opening is imminent. The TTC just added a new page about Line 5; meaning it's only a matter of time we start seeing ads about it in the subways and stations. #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.ttc.ca/riding-the-t...
Coming Soon - Line 5 Eglinton:...
A #TTC report last year found that installing platform edge doors at all subway stations would save $16M per year from reducing delays, & $92M in the social cost of injuries & deaths. Doors for Bloor-Yonge were announced in 2023 but no funding was allocated. Why not? Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore, Copenhagen & Seoul have all successfully retrofitted their subway systems with platform edge doors!

Given all the mishaps over the new Finch West LRT - with the two-day snow shutdown being the latest - who here feels it's time to call public inquiry for this transit line? ✋🚊 #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli CC @diannesaxe.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @joshmatlow.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @maritstilesndp.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @ttcriders.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy
Having the new Finch West LRT shut down for two days straight because of a snowstorm is downright bonkers! Subway vs LRT talk aside, there is a heck of a lot of blame that needs to go around over the mishandling of this project if other LRT's like Waterloo's ION run fine! #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli

I was hoping that all those Finch LRT closures were just part of the learning process to operate it.
Now with the line shut down on the day AFTER a storm, I wonder if the whole engineering of it is wrong.
Going to be much more expensive to fix.

@verge this thing is a scam and nobody should be using it. Anything to do with Natural Cycles. It's an unfunny joke it even still exists. #periods #menstruation #ttc #trying #fertility
Per a recent poll by Liaison Strategies, 70% of respondents said the new Finch West LRT is unsuccessful including 62% who said it was very unsuccessful. Hope things turn around when those improvements get implemented. #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...
