    Transit City Gauge

    Yes, but the TTC has an option in their contract for Bombardier for 400 Flexity cars for TC. I assume they'd just be more similar to the 'standard' design is all.

    Sharon Yetman's Subway Safety Plan (Better barrier for subways 'an obsession')

    No, there were rules. You admit this yourself when you state that "[Red] meant slow down and proceed with caution." That's a rule. If it was broken there was a mechanical system in place to physically disable the train. That failed (As we now know) because of a lack of testing and a mentality of...

    I think they only run 48/hour at peak (Give or take) as it is!

    TTC: Running out of tokens?

    Yesterday morning @ 10am one of the three machines at Finch was out of tokens and the other two were only dispensing them one at a time. I forgot to look, but does anyone know what you pay when buying one token at a time? Is it $2.75 or $2.25? Thankfully both collectors had some left but...
