Line 4 works this weekend means the rare Line 4 Shuttle is running. A relatively calm operation vs the usual Line 1/2 shuttles.

It's really crazy travelling Europe and realising how much more advanced the signal and track infra is on their streetcars vs ours. No, Boston and SF are not good examples of streetcar infra.
I'm glad someone is finally able to delegate to our officials what Europe has had for decades.

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

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
- 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

Guelph Transit has a nice fare setup even though they not a part of the PRESTO network. For GO transfers, you pay your regular local fare on board the bus and tap at a transfer validator at the station where you get refunded the local fare. Their fares are also capped at 34 rides per month.

BREAKING: The TTC is getting new Line 2 subway trains (55 trains), manufactured right here in Ontario in Thunder Bay. They’re based on Alstom’s Metropolis platform, and look extremely modern. More here: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

the funny part about the streetcars is even when they're misbehaving and bunched to shit your still only enduring an 8 min wait due to the sheer number of cars on the line

quick daytrip to abbotsford to explore the mysterious cfv transit system
1. dreadful-looking city hall
2. infamous "vicinity" bus at the new montrose exchange
3. getting photobombed by the 1 while stopping for pleasantly good coffee downtown
4. the heavy hauler (and critically underfunded) 66 fvx
