    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I saw it last night and it looked cool.

    VIA Rail

    I'm really hoping that VIA replaces the carbon paper system they have now for buying food and drinks on trains with this. Also, I have a feeling that the crew onboard trains aren't going to be happy about this since they probably aren't going to earn as much in tips anymore. P.S. VIA is using...

    There's literally a hole in the roof at Ingersoll station now :(

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    It's not like they're not parking certain vehicles overnight anyways https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/canada/ghost-bus-driver-less-ttc-bus-seen-rolling-through-toronto-station-1.2263273

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I don't get why there needs to be a full-sized garage. The TTC already had properties downtown to store busses overnight to reduce the storage/deadheading problem (Dufferin Gate Loop, Exhibition Loop, Wellsley Station).

    It's amazing how one person being hit by a train this afternoon near Napanee can continue to cripple the corridor 8 hours later. Also, notice anything special about this car:

    Sorry about that, I posted it from my phone while on train 71 and didn't preview on a laptop beforehand.

    It isn't just me that's affected... Also, I only actually did the late train travel credit thing once and "forgot" to request the points in time (you can check my VIA Preference history of you don't believe me, I'll PM you my card number). The vast majority of my points actually come from...

    No wonder, that's why they ruined all the student/youth passes.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    It's "towards" on Line 1 because of the possibility of short turns, and it's "to" on line 3/4 because it's highly unlikely/impossible for those trains to short turn.

    I guess it didn't want to deal with another winter, and wanted an early retirement.

    VIA Rail

    The unlimited student pass is now limited to 50 segments and escape fares only, it was 999 segments and escape/economy fares. The 6 pak used to include all economy fares, but is now limited to escape fares only. They also introduced smaller fare zones for the student pass. Already know a few...

    I think VIA somehow managed to cut a train set from their corridor fleet. Also I'm a bit disappointed with what their doing with the new student/youth passes. It's definately going to have a negative impact on ridership, but will likely increase revenues and lower expenses.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I saw this in Volendam, and it looks remarkably similar to the red fare vending machines the TTC uses.

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    The presto readers on the TTC now indicate what type of fare is being deducted (TTC, YRT, etc.) in the bottom left corner.

    VIA Rail

    There are currently 27 trainsets operating in the corridor right now according to the cycling plan I posted a while back. One of these train sets operates on train 85/88 as a 2 car train paired with one locomotive (so it probably won't be replaced). Therefore, 32 trainsets are more than enough...

    Might have gotten locked out of his account, steve and I have been having issues with the website redesign. https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/urbantoronto-redesign.26104/page-6

    It's going to be late and overbudget with Accenture running Presto.

    High-speed rail (even though it's pretty much canceled).
