The Toronto Police aren't even interested in doing their jobs on the ground, and we think they'll go after someone who posted a video of themselves SKATEBOARDING in a place they weren't supposed to on YouTube? Riiiiiiiight.

More signal issues today on line 1. And to think that the same system will be installed on line 2.
Wonderful news.
They should have kept the legacy signals in place as a backup.

I really don't know what is wrong with the TTC.
They advertised this as the state of the arts bulletproof system and hence they need more money to install it back in 2017. if the results is still a system wide disruption, they shouldn't upgrade Line 2.

Also due to the cold weather the homeless people are using the TTC as shelter. There were some people riding the TTC helping the homeless people and guiding them to shelter, but I haven't seen them recently.
More support is needed to help these people who have mental health issues get help. And the issue is to get them help even if they don't consent to it.

On days like today it would be great to have al alternative to use the GO Richmond Hill Line. At least if you could get to Union, you can get anywhere downtown using the streetcar.

This is AFTER an audit was forced on them. They've been hiding it for years. But there's always some TTC apologists despite their decades of mismanagement. I can't even even start with the SRT flying off the rails (literally).
Why are closures still constant after ATC upgrades?
Why is Line 1 busted twice in a few months due to "signal issues"?

At a less elaborate scale...........before Toronto was amalgamated, North York staff were known to give needy folks a token so they could get to (the old) City of Toronto to get help from their services.

Request for Proposals Issued for New TTC Line 2 Subway Trains and Automatic Train Control
December 10, 2024
The TTC has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for 55 new subway trains for Line 2. The RFP follows the November 30 confirmation of $1.2 billion in Federal funding allocated to the TTC from the Canada Public Transit Fund (CPTF) Baseline Funding Stream over 10 years – of which $758 million will be dedicated to the 55 new subway trains.
The Province of Ontario has also committed $758 million in funding through the Ontario-Toronto New Deal Agreement, with the City of Toronto contributing a matching amount.
“When Toronto is moving, Canada is growing,” said Mayor Olivia Chow. “This request for proposal will provide 55 new subway cars that will keep Toronto moving for generations to come.”
“Line 2 moves hundreds of thousands of people across the city daily, connecting people from Etobicoke to Scarborough,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. “The RFP for new trains is critical towards ensuring that Line 2 can continue to transport riders across the city in a safe and reliable manner for many years to come.”
“We’re very pleased to launch this competitive procurement process for new Line 2 trains, as we know that the oldest of our current Line 2 trains will be reaching the end of their design life in 2026,” said Interim TTC CEO Greg Percy. “I want to thank our Federal, Provincial and municipal partners for working together to keep Toronto moving.”
The procurement is for 70 trains in total, with 55 trains allocated to replace aging trains on Line 2 and 15 trains for the province’s Yonge North Subway Extension and Scarborough Subway Extension projects.
As part of the overall strategy to modernize Line 2, the TTC has also launched a procurement for a new Automatic Train Control (ATC) system on Line 2. ATC, which is currently running on Line 1, automatically controls train speed and separation between trains. Train location can be monitored more accurately, allowing more trains to operate closer together. This means more frequent and reliable service for customers and fewer signal-related delays.
The TTC is currently developing a State-of-Good-Repair program to maintain the existing trains on Line 2 until the new trains are delivered starting in 2030. The design of the new subway trains will have additional features to improve accessibility and customer and employee experience. The RFP also includes options for up to an additional 150 trains to meet the future needs for network growth and eventual replacement of trains on Line 1.

Has it just been decided without any proper process that we are going to spend this much money on these subway cars and have them built in Thunder Bay?
