    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    And again: he would know that if he actually used the system. The disconnect is wild. They absolutely need to hire people in charge that actually use the system. That should be a qualification.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    When they were in the Bay Concourse, they used to. Even in bags, if I remember correctly. The new space in the subway station is much smaller, though.

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    The BYD artics in Los Angeles don’t inspire much confidence. I don’t know what was wrong with them, but it took them around 2 years to go into service.

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    Looks like New Flyer has confirmed there will be no HEV artic option come 2026. TTC will either have to go back to diesel or try battery-electric. Earlier this year, a New Flyer electric artic made its rounds at the TTC, so they’ve had at least a cursory look at ones. BYD is the other artic...

    My go-tos at Union seem to be Roywoods, Kibo, and Butter Chicken Roti.

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    Fifteen new buses were just delivered and entered service. These were ordered as replacements for the destroyed buses. Six electric buses are being delivered. Seven more diesel buses are supposed to come in. The leased buses are still here, and three buses have been bought from Barrie. Seems...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Is the MSF ready to accept cars? Someone on Reddit spotted half a Citadis on a truck.

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    And how many of them actually need our equipment? Just because regional rail is badly needed in the US doesn’t mean it’s actually going to happen. And I’m sure Metrolinx has already looked at the market, and probably did more work then just quickly scanning Wikipedia, and determined that there...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    Who is in need of hundreds and hundreds of bilevel coaches?

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    I’d imagine it’s for GO bus since the electric bus and charger Transit Procurement Initiative has already been awarded.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Three TTC buses were in Montreal today to show off three different operator barrier designs with the ATU.

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    Oh I meant model of seat. Nova Bus doesn’t offer a rear window as standard anymore. It’s an additional cost option.

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    The Nova Bus electric bus has been delivered. With apologies to @Northern Light , it appears to have plastic seats. Look to be the same type as DRT, but in grey and red.

    TTC: Lower Bay Station (closed to public)

    Surprised there was no train parked there to stop someone from falling off the platform in the dark.

    TTC: Electric and alternative fuel buses

    This is some really neat insight. I guess BYD was there at the right time with the right product. Will be interesting to see how all the electric buses fair over time over there. My fear here is getting too many at once and then having teething issues that impact service. I definitely think we...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    The VIA concourse already has GO Transit departure screens. I don't think you gain much by combining them since VIA boards at only one spot in the station. If you're waiting in the York or Bay concourse, you very likely have no need for know VIA departures.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    York side, including the food court, is flooded too.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Part of the PATH and Bay concourse connection to the subway is flooded too.
