Jonathan, our Co-Executive Director just met with Jarrett Young (@idrawsthings on Instagram), an incredible illustrator who recently published a collection of 21 inked drawings of transit riders on the TTC! ✍️ Thank you to Jarrett for sharing his work with us! #toronto #art #illustration

The TTC website got a refresh! Nice to see the use of drop downs, summary descriptors of ongoing disruptions, more transparency regarding OTP, and the use of check marks on alerts to indicate resumption of regular service. It also appears that real time data for line 5/6 is coming soon too.

The Finch West LRT is now open until 1am and targeting every 6 minutes off peak.

There is also a Petition right now in the House of Commons for better regulating headlights! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

An extraordinary display of conduit work at Glencairn Station TTC Line 1

on board line 5 right now, and it certainly is getting priority over left turning vehicles! 3 months ago, @ttcriders.bsky.social yelled at city council and made a buzz in the media to make this happen, and elevated the voice of frustrated local riders on line 6. advocacy works, again and again.

👏 to these amazing transit activists! If the city follows through with changes to the whole transit network, they will have made transit better for all of Toronto!

This line has quickly proved itself to be godsend. Its opened up so many new parts of the city when before you'd had to sit (probably stand) on a crowded bus. Long delayed but welcome all the same. #TTC #LightRail #Toronto #Line5 #trainspotting #crosstown

line 5 at 7pm on a saturday, with trains running every 6-8 minutes. i take this train pretty often and I've only noticed ridership going up and up every time i use it. people will take transit in droves if it's fast and competitive!

Union Station is the hub of downtown Toronto, serving hundreds of thousands of passengers arriving or departing by train, bus, and subway. The facility moves vehicles and people in an intricate dance. Check out that dance in this film by Transit Toronto editor James Bow:

Ever go down to the railway lands and watch the trains go by? This week, we have two videos on this subject, with a new one showing up this Friday. Back in Summer 2022, Edward Brain recorded the first video & Damian Baranowski editied it to the tune of the Entertainer. Watch: youtu.be/53yytmptHMU

god i miss those streetcars

over the weekend, line 2 was shut down between st george and keele. after hopping off the 510 at spadina, i took line 1 up to cedarvale and line 5 to midtown instead. was it faster than walking to st george & doing line 2+1? idk, but it was cold, i was tired, & it's nice to have network redundancy

60 Years Ago... #Toronto #Subway #BloorDanforthSubway #Photography

Toronto, February 2026.

Line 2 turns 60 years old as of today 🎉🥳 Toronto's most important east-west link (sorry, Line 5!) has shuttled millions of riders for decades. Slated for 2030, new subway trains will keep Line 2 running reliably for decades more. But the federal program that helped fund them has been cut 😒 1/3

Feb 26, 1966: a day after its official opening, the TTC's new 8-mile (13 km) Bloor-Danforth crosstown subway opens for regular service. It added 18 new stations to the system, as well as new platforms and levels at two stations already in use: St. George and Bloor-Yonge. 1/3

Do you know why this is dangerous? Because this law states that you can be jailed for six months, fined $10K, or both if you are merely *suspected* of having or using drugs. People will absolutely be profiled — and not just homeless people. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

On February 24, 1966, the night before the opening of Bloor-Danforth subway, PCC 4469 pauses at Jane Loop. The next day, the route would be shortened from Luttrell loop all the way back to Keele. 📸 Robert Rathke/John Knight collection #Toronto #TTC #TakeTheTTC #TransitToronto #PCC

The Bloor-Danforth Subway (Line 2) is now 60 years old. Opening for revenue service on February 26, 1966 (The official opening was held the day before) from Keele to Woodbine Stations. What's your favourite part or memory of Line 2 Bloor-Danforth? 📸 Nathan Ng/Station Fixation

a little side project i've been working on for the last two weeks, in absence of an equivalent Metrolinx/TTC map: a rapid transit map that includes all fast and frequent transit that runs 7-days a week within the city of toronto, and better shows different "layers" of higher-order transit
