Maybe this topic has been brought up before but with all the news of new GO train stations and metro expansions and dismantling of highways, I thought this would be a good time to bring it up again.
Sure we could dream up big projects like Subway City and DRL, but before we think big, let's look at some simple things that can be easily implemented and not be outrageously expensive to improve transit quality and service in Toronto.
Here are a couple ideas :
1 - a website where one could enter a departure and arrival address and it will tell you different ways of how to reach your destination, with different methods of transportation (ie. TTC, GO, Mississauga Transit) and at what time. every "world-class" city and even some backwater towns have this. It's 2008.
2 - signage in the stations pointing to the preceding and subsequent
eg. king * QUEEN * dundas -->
3 - the ANNOUNCEMENT of stops ! Why is this so difficult ? A computer can do it.
simple things that would improve service and that virtually every other transit system in world i have been on (and I have been on a lot) have.
your thoughts?
