You keep saying exactly the same thing. I think most of us agree with you already so maybe time to stop?

Has to be repeated and repeated, until it becomes a earworm. Like commercials that is repeated and repeated.

That's like the priest trying to convert more people by preaching in the church.

The Queen car is an on-street amusement park ride except for those unfortunate enough to rely on it.
About two to three times a week, the 504 still has that huge gap of ~10 minutes due to bunching.
The subway has been less optimistic, every ride last week had a technical problem, a disruptive customer or a medical alarm. It seems like these events are a consistent base # that increases marginally as ridership goes up.

Walter. The problem is that, though many of your posts are different and interesting, too many are repetitive so I tend to ignore most of them. My loss but ...

You are preaching to the wrong congregation here as we fully understand the needs in the first place. We only represent less than 1% and you need to be preaching to the the other 74% since the other 25% don't give a shit or will never use transit in the first place.
You need to appear before TTC commissioners' to address your concerns as write to all levels of governments and those who have the power to make things happened.
You can join TTC Riders or other groups, but wouldn't recommend it.

Looks like they are finally starting on adding the elevator at the south end of the King Station platform.
Yonge is down to one lane north and southbound between Wellington and King.

No, it does not.
It serves to make people bored, if you're lucky and angry if you're not.
Let me tell you as someone who talks to City staff in different departments too, and here I mean the true-believers on staff in transit, in cycling and public realm...........they get so frustrated, hurt and angered by activists who condescend
to them as if they were stupid or didn't care.
For the most part, they know what needs doing, just like many of us here, and they are trying.
There is absolutely room to post innovative solutions from around Canada or the world that someone may not have seen; or to highlight an important precedent (I can tell you staff here felt boosted as soon as soon as Edmonton approved nixing parking minimums they were all over it again here, 'aha', we have a practical precedent we can refer to when doing a report/presentation).
Likewise there are always opportunities to discuss, well, opportunities, updates, urgent fixes etc.
But just repeating to everyone the same mantra w/o end is not at all productive.

Yes, See: https://www.ttc.ca/about-the-ttc/projects-and-plans/King-Station The first stage is, think, the relocation of a major gas main.

You can check the history on the TTC open data portal, though it's way up since 3 years ago even though ridership is down a lot on the subway

Maybe TTC should look at 
This will be very expensive to operate as well requiring more manpower to move small number of riders at a time.
Major investment to kick-start VLR revolution

Wow, they all but avoid mentioning the big service cut (increased crowding standards) during most periods of the day (and by using the word "adjustment" don't even indicate the direction!)
Interesting that while they budget for post-Covid ridership growth, they are forecasting that 2024 and 2025 will be similar to 2023.

Always good to under-promise and over-deliver but the TTC normally tends to over-promise (eg a well spaced service) and under-deliver!
