The TTC really needs a better way to communicate service alerts on their front page. Simply stating that there are "There are 20 alerts currently affecting TTC service. Find out more." is far less useful than it should be. Some simple tweaks would make it much easier to determine whether or not there is an alert that affects you.

GO breaks train delays down by line, bus disruptions are listed in numerical order, and elevators are a separate list. Pretty similar approach by TfL in London.

Here in Amsterdam, they have all routes listed on their front page and the route is coloured blue is there is any sort of a disruption: http://www.gvb.nl/

For GO, even better is gotracker.ca. The desktop version with the GPS location of the trains is neat to look at, but the useful part is on the mobile site where you can call up your station and see the entire upcoming departures list and on-time status in seconds Both still need the ability to bookmark a page and not the general site.

It is a gold loon on top of a streetcar shelter....did some asking around...seems the advertising inside is about a new loonie from the mint.....so it is just some extended advertising it seems.

it seems like random street art to me.. not sure who its commissioned by. publicly funded maybe?

Just saw one of these outside the ROM on Saturday, across the street from the Museum subway steps. A gold polar bear, looked cool. Figured it was some exhibit.

Loon? Polar bear? It must be part of the Royal Canadian Mint's ad campaign to design the 2017 coinage.
 
York Mills station recladding is pretty much complete now in most areas.

The TTC wasted an opportunity to have a direct subway connection between the new Ryerson Student Centre and Dundas station.

Really??

Do you have any idea what is involved in putting a connection there?

Do your homework before making that comment.

Who is going to pay for this connection and what do you think it will cost to do???
