Urban Transit Planning.https://bsky.app/profile/jacktatttran.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacktatttran.bsky.social/post/3mlnz4old2k2rWe need this kind of transparent speed review on the #TTC in Toronto! And arguably not just for the streetcars and LRT with their stupid station and formerly intersection rules, but also on the subway (though part of the issue is grading and drainage along Allen Road and between Bloor & Eglinton).

Our streetcars are the SLOWEST IN THE WORLD. This is an emergency, we need to remove parking and bank lane occupations that interfere with or create congestion for streetcars.

Americans you can relax that the USA does not have a monopoly on useless Obama Streetcars not for transport. You think DC Streetcar (RIP) was bad, you’ve seen nothing yet! youtu.be/axlroFt8ISw https://youtu.be/axlroFt8ISw05 May 2026 03:03 +0000at://did:plc:ecvmda6a65qml7f4rh2dedbo/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml377m3dak2khttps://bsky.app/profile/jacktatttran.bsky.social/post/3mkttesnmzs2sSo we want to make the lack of doctors worse by making them do unnecessary renewal appointments!? We need more family doctors in Ontario so shouldn’t we be maximizing their effectiveness for the population. Or is there some good reason for this that I cannot think of #doctors?

Tangent track speeds through intersections will be raised to full posted general traffic speed (aka no speed restriction)! This means 40km/hr generally with 50km/hr on roads like Lake Shore and maybe up to 60km/hr Queensway.

This can incorporate station layout walking paths/times and accessibility information of stops into the transit schedule feeds. @ttcriders.bsky.social @redesigningttc.bsky.social [contains quote post or other embedded content]29 Apr 2026 14:09 +0000at://did:plc:ecvmda6a65qml7f4rh2dedbo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mknblx7lx22fhttps://bsky.app/profile/jacktatttran.bsky.social/post/3mkkpwojt3s2tInteresting report about bad customer service by Tower Transit/ Transit Systems/ Torrens Transit/ Swan Transit (all owned by Kelsian Group). Have other people had similar experiences with their drivers? I wonder how they compare with other operators like CDC, Busways, Transdev, GOAhead and Keolis?

I propose a “Golden Horseshoe Council of Transit Agencies” consisting of all transit agency CEOs, with TTC, Metrolinx, and minister having veto.

But common fare policy and prices, coordinated services, and fare integration is all good and necessary!

This underground bus terminal is costing just $1billion CAD (converted from SEK), to show how much of a cost and infrastructure problem we have here.

Would this require every subway station outside downtown (define) to have car parking!? We have car parking at only a few stations and it is generally very underutilized. High ceilings is going to lock in very expensive deep cavernous mined or cut-n-cover stations.

Bill 98 is a generally good bill that will require the TTC to function within an integrated regional transit network, with coordinated fares, concessions, and schedules. Fare increases are unlikely because it is unpalatable (both HSR and Burlington have lower PRESTO rates).
