Intercom was acting odd on my GO Bus MCI D45 CRT ride the other day.

On this day in 1927, TTC streetcar No. 2088 was photographed at the Danforth car house after being heavily damaged by fire. Documented by Alfred Pearson, these striking images show the aftermath. 📸: City of Toronto Archives #OnThisDay #1920s #ttc #torontohistory #toronto #canada #jeremyhopkin

I love grade-separated rapid transit like subways, metros, and SkyTrains.

Just got a ride on one of GO Transit's new MCI D45 CRT buses.

Those advocates are right.

good presentation coming to the TTC board next week on transit signal priority, with reference to systems used in amsterdam. much needed as our transpo officials are seemingly unaware of how much more functional TSP works in other jurisdictions, while maintaining toronto's very weak implementation

New render for the planned bus terminal at Islington Station. A drop in session hosted by Deputy Mayor and City Councillor, Amber Morley, will be held tonight where riders can discuss the project. More info: www.ambermorley.com/...

what a great shot!

when L5 opens, the public is going to really notice the difference between the grade separated west half and street-running east half ~15 min to get from mt dennis to laird, but 40+ min laird to kennedy. i already see the headlines: scarborough transit riders get the short end of the stick, again

Yonge & Queen subway construction. The size of these temporary structures is always impressive.

Line 5 Eglinton opens on February 8th! Line 5 will improve transit service along Eglinton Avenue, and act as Torontos second crosstown line. In the future, Line 5 could be extended to Pearson Airport and connected to multiple proposed and under construction transit lines.

...and they did wait until the last week of january! as rumoured for many months, line 5 is finally publicly confirmed to be opening february 8. that's less than 2 weeks away. similar to line 6, the opening date has been shrouded in secrecy until the very end, with not even an estimate provided.

Good night from downtown Kitchener!

Hearing news of the Crosstown's opening on Feb 8 reminded us when in 2019, TT's James Bow and Damian Baranowski ventured into the crosstown tunnels under Eglinton and Caledonia. We even shot video: www.youtube.com/watc...

CityNews is reporting that Line 5 Eglinton (Eglinton Crosstown) will open on Sunday, February 8, 2026.

salute to all the bus drivers today who are pulling serious overtime in inclement conditions operating the subway shuttles

Also, plowing transit routes FTW

50+ cm (~20 in) of snow just fell in toronto. really happy that the city has *already* cleared the sidewalk & bus stop and plowed an accessible curb so people can board. last year, at this time of year, myself and neighbours would be stumbling over snow mountains to board the bus for days 😮‍💨

I shared my editor's intro to the new issue of Spacing, where I describe Eglinton as Toronto's "prime rib" spacing.ca/toronto/2026...

Jan 21, 1856: the Grand Trunk Railway reaches a deal with the City of Toronto allowing it to lay tracks on a 40' (12 m) wide right-of-way on the waterfront. The GTR was not obliged to build road bridges, ramps or crossings as these were ostensibly to be provided by the city. 1/3

Several other people in the coffee shop were also taking a picture of this one

the exact same arguments i heard against bus lanes in toronto repeat themselves in vancouver: ✅ "i want better transit, BUT..." ✅ "businesses die without street parking" (despite an abundance of off street parking) ✅ bus lane turns car sewer into an "unsafe highway" ✅ "accessibility worsens"

Jan 17, 1989: the last VIA Rail overnight sleeping cars between Ottawa and Toronto begin their journeys, marking the end of 116 years of through sleeper service between the two cities since 1873—with a brief hiatus in 1965-66 following the end of the pool train agreement. 1/3

My Streetcar Stop Consolidation Concept: - Remove stops without an opposing stop and/or closer than 300m - Maintain a general maximum spacing of 500m on streets and 600m along ROWs - Move stops where turns occur to farside for TSP effectiveness - Consolidate stops for services in the same direction
