TTC can run train 7/24 for most of the line that is not effected by maintenance.
All they got to do is to run a shuttle bus between the sections of the line close because of maintenance.
There was talk at a TTC meeting about going 7/24 and how to do the maintenance. What could happen is part of the system would be shut down on the weekend for 30-48 hrs and this would allow more work to be done than the current method.
Lack of funds for maintenance in the past has caughtup to the point there is more work time require than shut down time.
In the short window for maintenance, you are not getting much done. Time to move stuff, setup and take down eats up those short window time.
If TTC could do this weekend closure, it would cut done on the lenght of time to do the maintenance as well cleaning up the back log of work to be done. Once this is done, then it will be years before maintenance would be require.
You still need to do your nightly inspection.
To shut down the line for 30-48 hours will have an impact on the riders, but are they willing to put up with it for a weekend or two compare to the months it may take using current method?
There will be some riders who will say no, but most would say yes if they are going to get 7/24 service and see less maintenance down time.
