A huge amount of transit construction in this picture, including: - a rebuilt Exhibition GO station 🚆 - a new Ontario Line subway station 🚇 - a tunnel boring machine launch shaft for the OL 🪏 Toronto’s Liberty Village neighbourhood is set to become extremely transit-connected

#RapidTO streetcar priority lanes on Bathurst Street are painted between Lake Shore and Fort York. Looking forward to the rest of the work being completed all the way to Bloor soon! #Toronto

This rules, let’s go Toronto!

First look 👀 at new #RapidTO transit priority installation on Bathurst south of Fort York. More white line painting to come, but a great start! What do you think?

Oh! Out of the blue, a motion from chair Myers to conduct a full scale review and scale up of transit signal priority in an attempt to speed up streetcars! You love to see it!!

New Confederation GO Station Opens, Expanding Service for Hamilton Commuters

Stupid Toronto-area drivers, case number 54378: truck driver drives into TTC St. Clair streetcar right-of-way, gets stuck blocking rush hour 512 and bus service. Absolute brain dead behaviour.

Toronto, 🇨🇦

Huge win for transit riders and a better city. Congrats to all involved on making this happen. It’s time to give the 509 Harbourfront, 510 Spadina, 511 Bathurst, and 512 St Clair streetcar routes 600-series designations to highlight that they have transit-only lanes. #topoli

The “official” future Greater Toronto Region transit map from Metrolinx, showing existing, underway, and planned transit projects.

I’ve always loved the TTC’s Queen’s Quay (Ferry Docks) Station. It’s unique because it’s the only underground streetcar station that’s not an interchange with the subway, and you cross the tracks at-grade to access the opposite platform.

Toronto’s new Biidaasige Park is excellent. Renaturalizing the mouth of the Don River, adding native plants, and creaking kilometres of new public trails was a monumental task, so congrats @waterfrontoronto.bsky.social!

Streetcars in their own lanes = bare minimum. Do this more Toronto.

Welcome to Toronto Allies and Morrison and congrats on your office opening!

Toronto angular plane rules are frustrating. Look at all that potential but unbuilt housing!

Nothing beats a Toronto summer

Salsa on St. Clair. The people yearn for open streets. #Toronto

Even though we always have room for improvement, nowhere else in the Americas has the sheer will to build transit the way Toronto and Ontario do. Pictured is an entire structure being built to protect the Ontario Line’s Osgoode station construction from the weather.

So neat how in Toronto you can wander down a random residential street and there’s just a streetcar parked there hanging out

The Guelph - Kitchener/Waterloo - London corridor has the chance to become its own city region with an orbit outside of Toronto. Even better, it has a lightly used rail line connecting the cities, and the Province already owns half of it.

GO Kitchener Line 4th tracking south of the CPKC flyunder progressing well, with new rails laid almost as far south as Bloor GO. Concrete ties are a nice touch as they reduce maintenance and are noticeably quieter. More tracks = more service.

Woodbine (Racetrack) GO station construction is now fully underway.

Happy Canada Day!

On super hot days like today, I especially appreciate the shadows that tall buildings cast. It’s nice to have a shaded side of the road. Don’t let NIMBYs tell you that this is a bug, it’s a feature!

Give Toronto streetcars their own lanes everywhere!

Thorncliffe Park Station and Flemingdon Park Station on Toronto’s upcoming Ontario Line. Great examples of elevated metro stations, which hopefully inspires future elevated transit in Toronto and the surrounding region.

If this is how busy Toronto’s Union Station is in 2025, what will it be like in 2035? Toronto needs the Midtown GO Line and additional downtown shoulder stations ASAP.

Toronto-style bike lane barriers are great. Cheap and fast to deploy and they do an effective job of keeping cyclists safe.

Construction is starting for GO Transit’s Caledonia Station on the Barrie Line, which will connect to the soon-to-open Eglinton Crosstown/TTC Line 5.

Sure, we can do a lot better on existing transit in Toronto. But when you look at the scope of rapid transit expansion underway right now in the City, it’s something we should be proud of. This is what the transit network will add by the mid 2030s (not including GO Expansion).

Often overlooked Toronto project: Metrolinx is currently building an entirely new GO train concourse at Union Station on the south side. Called the Bremner Concourse, it will feature multiple new platforms/tracks, and have wide staircases for ease of passenger movement.

Even if you’re not going to/from Niagara Falls, you can still use GO Niagara Line trains from places like Burlington, Oakville, and Port Credit for weekend express service. In my case, it’s significantly cuts my Oakville-Union trip time, plus you get to blow past a local train.

Back home to the big city. Even though I mainly use the TTC these days, it’s always a pleasure to take the GO (especially with trains every 15 mins on weekends).

I’m ready for the Carnegeddon, are you?

The Hazel McCallion LRT Port Credit station taking shape in Mississauga. It’s the only part on phase 1 of the LRT that will be “underground” (in this case, semi-submerged). Port Credit will become a major transit node, most notably connecting to the GO Lakeshore West Line.

Sleepy Summerhill Station on the TTC’s Line 1. With the planned Midtown GO Line, this station will become much busier as a vital transfer point.

Ontario has awarded the contract to build Toronto’s East Harbour Station. This transit hub will be “Union Station East”, serving 100,000 daily riders on the GO Lakeshore East Line, GO Stouffville Line, Ontario Line subway, plus TTC bus & streetcars. news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

The Ontario Liberals have released their transit plan. It includes tons of GO rail extensions, and more local transit. #onpoli ontarioliberal.ca/bonnie-cromb...

More Toronto streetcar routes should have dedicated lanes. It’s not rocket science!

Forest Hill Village is such a Toronto gem. Tons of gentle density too.

Why is Canada's high-speed rail project ALTO so exciting? It's fast. At 300 km/h it will dramatically reduce travel times between our two biggest cities and capital, and other communities along the route. Here's a map I made outlining the time savings for this HSR project ⬇️🇨🇦

Snowy Canadian day, GO Train ride, and @pwhlsceptres.bsky.social hockey game.

In the first major transit commitment of the #ONelxn, Bonnie Crombie commits to installing platform screen doors across the entire TTC system! www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/onta...

Snow, streetcars, St. Clair #Toronto

Awesome Toronto Sceptres (@pwhlsceptres.bsky.social) win at a sold-out Scotiabank arena! I honestly think that the team could fill this barn on a regular basis.

The TTC at its best: you just miss a rush hour subway train but you can already see the next one approaching the station. Frequency = freedom.

My transportation takeaway? We need more regional transit like GO rail so that people can move across the entire Greater Golden Horseshoe and beyond. We need more suburb to suburb transit because not everyone travelling goes to Union Station. www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

People dunk on the 512 St. Clair streetcar, but I personally find it to be a very reliable and decently rapid way to get around.

6 minute frequency on TTC’s Line 1 during the AM rush? That’s not the vibe I wanted to start my Tuesday.
