15 of the 70 new subway trains will be headed to Line 1 as a part of the Yonge North Subway Extension.

Absolutely adored my time in Melbourne last year, it’s an incredible city by day and night.

Hot take:

The transit in Vancouver has lower frequency, shorter span of service, and frequent trip cancellations.

The bike share system has paltry coverage, dated technology, and absurd pricing

Toronto's sheer frequency, availability, and coverage of its transport systems makes it far superior.

What makes it so bad? I find the trackpad functionality to be completely pointless, but I do find it useful to have a dedicated button to open the camera.

"The fix mainly involves reverting to earlier software and is relatively simple [...] according to the bulletin to airlines seen by Reuters." If Reuter's reporting is accurate on this, how likely is it that AA had just been slow updating their aircraft's software? www.reuters.com/business/aer...

Screenshot of Google Maps with driving directions highlighted, offering a transit alternative highlight”no transfers”

It’s so nice to see Google Maps recommend people try public transit! An excellent detail of this is mentioning that no transfers are needed, which can be a significant mental hurdle for those unfamiliar with transit.

And for Canada Line I’d imagine they’d want to roll that work into any future potential platform extension work.

I genuinely had to look up where to access history in the new Safari. In order to access history, you need to tap bookmarks first?! Wildly unintuitive.

Yes trumpcard.gov

amen

The worst part is that the PSAs will still show even when the train is stopped at stations. It’s really annoying not being able to see on the screen which station you’re stopped at, even on the screen over the door.

Wish I could help, stay safe out there!

I really don’t understand why the TTC sounds personally offended by this

Functionality doesn't have to come directly to the detriment of aesthetics. That said, I do totally agree these both look fairly ugly but also that's completely fine to me. They both serve the role of being forgettable buildings.

Very smooth first ride, happy to see the Mk V (finally) enter service!

This is clearly your sign to never log off

What happens if you tap it??

Dear engineers: stop making cyclists dismount - Better Columbia In far too many places across the province, engineers continue to rely on the same old ineffective tricks to paper over their own inadequate designs.

Across the province, ‘cyclists dismount’ signs have metastasized as engineers rush to absolve themselves of liability for the sub-standard cycling facilities they design, writes Ruofan Wang.

I’m at the TTC board advocating for platform edge doors. Cities around the world already have them. Toronto has a responsibility to prevent tragedies. We also know that trespassing onto the tracks contributes to the delays riders experience and makes the TTC less reliable.

Sorry, I don’t think I articulated my message well. I was referring to them not bringing any specific issues up besides air filtration. You’ve done a great job over the years on advocating for any number of accessibility issues on GO.

The aspects of taking GO that aren’t accessible by all means should be brought up and discussed (they really weren’t in this thread). But responding generally to “GO is good” with an accusations of ableism isn’t productive at all.

60% design renders for WELRT thanks to @swanboatsteve.bsky.social. More details on his blog.

I'm really excited to see the Port Lands urban design come together! Let's hope this project gets funded soon otherwise we repeat the past mistakes of Liberty Village and Humber Bay Shores.

Congrats! 🙌

The first time I saw it I was so confused, it’s not even a good name.

TTC chooses new CEO, nearly a year after Rick Leary’s resignation: sources Mandeep Lali, with experience working for New York and London’s transit agencies, has been picked by the chair of the TTC board to take over as the new head of Toronto’s beleaguered transit agency.

The TTC has selected a new CEO, Mandeep Lali. Hoping his experience with the NY Subway and London Underground can help us with our aging infrastructure on the subway and streetcar. 🙏 www.thestar.com/news/gta/ttc...
