And they lined up Finch and Finch West on this one...

Thought this would be worthwhile reposting in a more prominent thread:

If we seriously have to rename Pioneer Village again, then Maria Augimeri or her estate should cover the costs from renaming it from Steeles West originally.

To quote your previous example, actually Dominion to Kichi Sibi is actually a case where it was more relevant. Dominion Dr is an unimportant side street in the area, whereas the general ward in Ottawa is well known as the older transliteration, Kitchissipi.

I can't talk to Pioneer Village, but sometimes it's possible to cover both bases in a name change

Is the Ontario Northland new at Union too?

They've shown that for a while

 

[McGillicuddy]

I don't believe Ontario Northland ever stopped serving Union Station. It's just been a bus service instead of a train service.

I'm not sure how they'd fit. Even the strip maps for the lines other than 2 seems like overkill.

I'm also not sure the point, with the maps on the train walls being the best place for these - the ones that include the streetcar lines.

Montreal didn't used to have any maps over the doors. Did they add them?

The Montreal map on the train walls has always been a classic!

GO lines not fitting just illustrates how squeezing a system map above the doors doesn't really work. Maybe it was fine for the Toronto of old with 2.5 subway lines and barebones commuter rail, but there just isn't room for our emerging system in that short space.

I believe the bus terminated at the coach terminal until the Union bus terminal opened, so there was a few years gap

Damn, I'd already forgotten the coach terminal ever existed.

Yes, this is probably nearer to the truth.

Ha! Not me. Apart from the fact that the current terminal is fully enclosed I don't think it does anything better than the old one. Nothing like having a 5 minute walk to the subway instead of 1.

Living in Toronto perhaps. But the number of times I had to transfer from a train to a bus in Toronto, I wish the walk had been shorter and better signed. (invariably a subway with baggage).

Except 2012 to 2021, after the end of the Northlander but when Ontario Northland buses stopped at the old Coach Terminal.

One of the Toronto Rocket seems to have an updated signage too. It seems they managed to fit in LED's into the map.

I hate those Lite Brite maps, but I indeed remember Adam Giambrone saying at the time that they were expandable.

 

[Mind_the_gap]

Sorry, but when this U-dip happens...

These need to be retired.

Honestly.....at this point they should just open a competition up and let people figure out what's the best way to visualise Toronto's transport system.

I've also hated that these maps don't show which streetcars service what station.
