The new GO Transit maps in trains are great, and include the TTC’s rapid transit network. We need more unified regional wayfinding like this!

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
- a rebuilt Exhibition GO station 🚆
- a new Ontario Line subway station 🚇

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!!

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.

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

Transit riders win more reliable and fast transit! City Council just voted 20-3 to approve dedicated transit lanes on Dufferin and Bathurst south of Bloor Street, showing overwhelming support for better transit.

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.

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

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.

KW has crazy potential. Need to get on with improving and expanding ION, and doing some creative business things . . .

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.

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!
