But it could be better.
TTC still treats bus bays as if they aren’t part of a larger transit facility. This makes it hard to see all buses that depart from a bus terminal. That’s bad if there’s a few buses you could take, and you want to see the departure times for all of them.
Compare YRT and TTC.

#TTC finally numbered their bus bays in GTFS! This matters because nowadays, apps are as important as signage in a wayfinding system. This change will make it easier to find where your bus departs from.

Not to defend bad etiquette but given the reality, buses should replace backwards-facing seats in quads with aisle-facing seats and an armrest. This is what DRT does. Although the LFS’s larger wheel well takes legroom from an aisle-facing seat, the seats stay cleaner.

Empty poster cases at transit facilities make me sad.

I agree, TTC’s approach is too busy. I like the doorway icon, it’s more inclusive than MX’s walking man.
I like Hong Kong MTR’s approach (progressive disclosure). One icon for “exit”. If only some exits are one way, exit letters are specified. Exit names are given when only one remains.

Sad that TTC stopped locking up the TTC logo with the word “Subway” (see example). Though monolingual, it’s better than just showing a line number to represent the subway. When there’s just one line, it could be confused for an entrance number like at a mall.

Doooon’t buy it at Shoppers. It’s only $2.96 at Walmart for 180g (right now on discount).

Hello, I’m Walter. I’m a university student studying mechatronics engineering (may specialize in railway engineering if I make it through 2nd year). My hobbies are making maps, wayfinding, and userstyles. I listen to a lot of music, mainly Powerwolf, country/folk/pop, and lo-fi right now.
