SB Bathurst to EB Adelaide movement needs to be restricted or forced to the curb lane. This small portion of congestion destroys the reliability of the 511 and the credibility of RapidTO.

The number of malfunctional switch motors, including those at relatively recently rebuilt intersections like King/Dufferin, is concerning. It should be rare that operators must crank switches by hand on street in this day and age yet malfunctional switches are present for months or years at a time.

DEMOLISH THE ALLEN SOUTH OF YORKDALE thank you for attending my ted talk

72 buses are currently logged into the Line 2 shuttle between Woodbine and Kennnedy today. Salute to the spare board. Fun fact this is more buses than the entire fleet of some GTHA transit agencies, including Barrie (48), Burlington (64), Brantford (32), Peterborough (60), and Milton (34).

Every time I ride the Long Branch streetcar I'm reminded that despite running in mixed traffic, with no safety systems, no fancy infrastructure, and very basic stops, the service provided is higher quality than Line 6. Why? The service is fast and reliable and that's what matters most to riders.

spam this everywhere in toronto Every property south of eglinton should automatically permit this type of structure

Love that the new LCD design is rolling out to all buses!

all hail the guelph central station bird

sometimes when i be doing running times im so in the zone I forget to eat yes its that serious

the new Markham St configuration already has drivers confused

what the hell r these categories

511 Bathurst PM peak service comparison before and after RapidTO. Headway is 6 mins. NB: Sep 2025 - 35m May 2026 - 33m (-5.7%) SB: Sep 2025 - 38m May 2026 - 33m (-13%) Cycle: Sep 2025 - 73m + 11m LO (15%) (14 cars in service) May 2026 - 66m (-9.6%) + 14m LO (21%) (13 cars in service)

sunday

Run out headsigns are so funny like wdym 509 Harbourfront to Roncesvalles

The danger with centre running transit that we commonly fail to understand in NA. Frequently sold as the default option for faster transit, but engineers and politicians fail to account for the mitigation complexity from larger number of conflict points.

Canadian transit construction costs might be bonkers but projects generally return solid ridership. Meanwhile Los Angeles just spent US $1.5bn on a 15km light rail extension that generated a ghastly 3000 daily boardings across five stations combined.

typical Saturday afternoon traffic in Liberty village we are so cooked for fifa

I'm not a Drake fan but this is hella cool to see in the middle of Downtown Toronto

The 1km of bus lane implemented as part of RapidTO Queens Quay East has significantly decreased runtime variability and travel times and increased ridership on route 114. We must roll out RapidTO city wide, no matter the political implication.

Just took line 6 again and did the trip end to end in 33 mins. I'm actually shocked how much better the service is performing vs launch. We didn't hit a single red going EB until Jane and signs turned green for our train several times.

Double parking and illegal stopping on streetcar corridors overnight needs to be heavily enforced. Service on King and Queen at 3am becomes bunched and nearly unusable. Delays cascade into the early morning when customers need reliable service the most, such as shift workers.

being a transit scheduler sometimes im like damn who tf made the schedule for this bus and then I remember it was me

a relic from the past promising an unfulfilled future

Smth interesting about the Line 6 RT/TSP debate is that Viva has a similar setup, with inaggressive TSP and padded schedules. Half the route is also mixed-traffic on congested Hwy 7. Viva purple does its 19km route between 35-62 mins (18-33 km/h) vs L6's 10.4 km route in 42-44 mins (14-15 km/h).

words cannot describe how excited i am for the future of the port lands, especially with WELRT now funded. Bring on Ookwemin Minising!

visit our historic downtown

King + Bathurst

awesome new hybrid buses in burlington, whisper quiet and low emissions. Does 95% of what a BEB does with none of the drawbacks.

Assuming a full 50% cut to Development Charges in Toronto, that would bring DC's back in-line with 2019, just as they started to grow enormously. Combined with last week's HST exemption this hopefully helps unstick the industry. Reminder: if nothing's built, cities get $0 in DC's anyways

Federal funding for WELRT!! Never thought I'd live to see the day. Thank you Carney for prioritising infrastructure. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

we are in hell

I don't go north of bloor type gays missing out

The City of Toronto has released their 2026-2028 Congestion Mangement Plan, which features significant emphasis on enforcing traffic laws and improving transit speeds.

the future is now???? actually crazy that google/samsung got this to work

We are so obsessed with putting density in odd/constrained places in the GTA. Instead of upzoning Plains Rd, which is already serviced by a 10-min frequency arterial bus route, we are creating additional congestion from areas impossible to serve efficiently by transit and awful to walk/cycle from.

canada's heaviest trafficked main line

- no line 1 university line - no lakeshore west GO - no streetcars at Exhibition - passed up by 3 crush loaded buses yea I'm going home

rate the bike lane

was someone talking about gas prices?

another day of getting where I need to go faster because of replacement buses 🫠 from Dufferin to Long Branch, 47 mins on the bus vs 56 mins scheduled by streetcar.

Buses are replacing streetcars on the 511 Bathurst. My bus did the NB trip in 22 mins, even running in the congested curb lane north of Queen. In comparison, streetcars are sched. for 31 mins. The "express" streetcar during FIFA will be hilarious to watch when the local curbside bus blasts past.

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.

its extremely impressive how many montrealers continue to pack STM buses and trains and top NA transit ridership stats with such infrequent service

finally made it out to the end of the A4 branch of the REM. A very quiet and smooth ride, but extremely obvious suburban commuting patterns off-island. Local bus connections are poor and land use is substandard. Will be interesting to watch ridership patterns long-term.

so i found out apparently opus cards expire. Fine. But having to pay $6 again to get a fresh card???? Absolutely bs

i for one cannot wait for streetcars to return to the 503. The bus is faster yes, but it is crushloaded day and night despite running every 6 mins. People who say we should replace all streetcars with buses clearly have never had to rely on a bustituted route.
