Question to those in the know. There was talk a couple ears back (maybe longer) of CT decreasing frequencies to some of the suburban bus services, and increasing frequency of ctrain service to as low as 3 minutes. From what I can tell trains still run at 5 minute intervals, according to the schedules, and from own experience it's usually around 5 min. Did they scrap the idea? or maybe it was never implemented?

Afaik the train will stay at 5 minutes peak because while 2-3 minutes is technically possible it leaves zero tolerance for delays. Right now the bus service reviews are focused on reallocating service hours from peak-only express and high school routes to an all-day two way network that can also serve those students

Big delay on the Red and Blue line today. A car hit a C-train around 9th street. I think the West LRT was affected the most.

I wish the C-train was underground in downtown.

TTC is no better, still remember I witnessed at least 10 times that Toronto subway just shutdown for random reasons and people can’t even line up, they just gathered around waiting for buses in snow or rain. Painful memories.

Another tradeoff with underground stations is safety. Outside of rush hour, transit here is not used as widely as Toronto and Vancouver. At the end of the day, these people will go somewhere and places like the EV, convenience stores (like the Circle K where the new Fairmont is), etc. are getting redeveloped, so they'll eventually end up in transit. Even downtown Toronto at 10/11pm on a weekday is pretty sketchy, and it'd be worse here.
