Interesting stats from GO Transit’s 2025 Wrapped. What stands out is the Milton Line, once GO’s number 3 most-used route, has dropped to 5th. This is because of significant new weekend service being added to the Kitchener and Barrie Lines, whereas Milton has just peak service.

This weekend while the Barrie GO Line was shut down, crews installed a pedestrian tunnel at Bowie Ave for the under-construction Caledonia GO Station. This station will connect to Line 5 Eglinton Caledonia Station, making this area a great future multi-modal transit hub.

St. Clair West Station. We might be almost there.

Toronto’s newest flatiron, 1071 King, a rental building by Hullmark. As seen from the GO Kitchener Line.

Here is a video of GO Kitchener Line, Union Pearson Express, and Line 5 Eglinton trains operating at Mount Dennis Station. It will be one of the best-connected transit hubs in Toronto. It also includes a massive TTC bus terminal.

West of Mount Dennis, the Line 5 Eglinton West Extension is progressing. Here at Jane/Eglinton, we see the elevated guideway being built. This intersection will also be home to an elevated station (which will likely be called “Eglinton Flats”?).

Mount Dennis GO/UP Express station is officially open. A community without rapid transit options is suddenly only 16 mins away from downtown Toronto. Now, we wait for Line 5 Eglinton to open to “complete” this transit hub.

Any guesses where I’m headed?

Another Line 5 Eglinton observation re: speed. While driving, I “raced” a train between Sunnybrook Park Station and Pharmacy Station. We essentially kept pace with each other the entire trip, despite the train having to stop at stations along the way. Traffic was medium (6PM).

A silver lining: despite the westbound Line 5 Eglinton track being blocked at Golden Mile Station, light rail trains kept running. The line’s various crossover tracks meant that trains could “detour” around the problem area. Good to see.

Golden Mile Station on Line 5 Eglinton. How does anyone even pull off messing up so badly?

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

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.
