You can't expect 100% but 90-95% of the regular commuters should be aware. There will always be someone not too bright or occasional riders that need to be told on the spot. If half the regular riders end up waiting at the wrong place, there's a problem with communication.

Also some people are insecure. Even if they are told to wait at a new location the other day and the end up seeing a bunch of people waiting at the wrong platform, their insecurity would bring them to the wrong place cause everyone is there. Other people are always right and their thinking is wrong.

Many times, I've seen signs that say "this stop not in use" use the "temporary stop x poles away", and people still gather at the closed stop.

How many times, do people ask the driver if the bus will ACTUALLY go as the sign says so?

I don't have any pics because I was on a bus but there were some big concrete pours at Kennedy today covering the mezzanine finally. Idk how long these things usually take but this seems pretty late for them to just be wrapping up concrete pours on the station itself

Some people are just idiots but sometimes they realize drivers will pick up them. So they do it anyways. There is also a bad habit of the TTC not removing the paper signs when construction is done months ago. So you can't blame people. I don't know what is the verdict with operators can't remove them themselves. Probably some bureaucracy and union fear the operator could injure themselves if they try to take the sign down??

I remember one time taking the 168 at Symington/St Clair. I waited at the temporary stop by myself while 2 others wait at the no being serviced stop across the road. The bus drove past them and picked me up. They probably learn their lesson after that.

Kennedy seemed like it was making a lot of progress at the beginning of last year but it has slowed up now, I wonder how far they really are?

Most of the main entrance is covered up and obviously its hard to see underground, though it does seem like theyve been speeding things up lately. Everytime im there theres something new

I wish they would have a page where they upload monthly pictures. An example is https://427expansion.ca/about-link-427/photo-gallery/

Its a little more complicated with an LRT line. More safety stuff for photographers.

There are also tons of photos on their instagram, twitter, Facebook and on their blog.

Considering the next Ontario elections will be on June 2 2022 or earlier... What are everyones thoughts on this line being operational by lets say April 2, 2022? I am sure Ford would want a ribbon cutting ceremony at least 2 months prior. I personally don't think April 2, 2022 this line will be operational since there is so much work left and plus testing and training the staff takes months.

On a side note, passed by Eglinton and Sloane. They started building the final above ground stop. Seems like all the above grade stop stations should be completed by the middle of March.

I think the current date is at the end of February so he'll prob get his ribbon cutting

Do you all think Del Duca would actually get elected? The Liberal used the all talks and stall tactics to buy votes while pushing everything past the next term.

I see either a PC majority or an unstable any-two-add-to-a-majority situation like back in 2011-14.

Del Duca would be the worst choice in the history of politics... He barely got anything done as the transportation minister. Imagine him being Premier lol. I am liberal supporter however will be voting for Ford. He is the only one to get these 4 major Toronto transit projects pass the finish line

He has the charisma of a wet rag running a party that currently barely exists.

I'd wager seeing Doug Ford fly before he became elected.

Yep. I'm almost tempted to vote PC just to get rid of Del Duca. He seems like a bonehead. So is Doug, but at least he seems to have largely mellowed from his bull in a chinashop antics when he first took office.

There is a lot of inertia behind LPO. They will bounce back strongly even with a damp rag as leader. LPO support collapsed due to exhaustion with the previous administration.
