How the frig does that happen in plain view of a camera, with no response? (answer - because it's the TTC)

Is there even anyone in the booth monitoring the cameras anymore? I thought collectors have to roam the concourse now.

I can't speak to the specifics here, but generally most collectors do wander and spend time outside the booth, but they also have access to the booth for warmth/cool (in summer) or security. Most, in my experience are about 1/2 in, 1/2 out.

How often do you actually see graffiti on the TTC?

I certainly don't see it very often at all. It's big and very visible and makes for a very obvious target and therefore gets cleaned up quickly. It is scratchitti that is the insiduous, difficult to fight pest, because it's so difficult to spot.

Very rarely, which is why this isn't a big deal whatsoever.

The pictures I posted of Berlin's transit system feature buildings covered in graffiti. It's not a big deal.

They do an incredible job of remediation once reported, usually anything is gone the day after I report it.

This is one of the rare areas where the TTC does well. I rarely, if ever have seen any tags on the system.

Any tags discovered on vehicles are immediately shunt away from the public to discourage the behaviour. Even if they couldn’t clean it in time, it’ll just hide back in the yard.
Usually this would be discovered in the morning after overnight break ins so it’s not too hard to do.

This is just the beginning. They'll probably eventually make it a BRT and the Waterfront East LRT put on the back burner. Sad

The sad part is this city has no financial ability without begging others for a cheque. Even implementing a SSE levy, the money just becomes part of a broader tax that everyone pays today with zero contribution to transit. This is supposedly redirected to the Eglinton East LRT a few years ago when Ford announce Ontario would fund the SSE completely. Yet that project haven't even got a shovel in the ground. This city is doomed.

The money is there for the east-west line and to Villar Island, but not the loop that is the lion share of the cost. Build the east-west section along with the tunnel wye and block it the tunnel off until TTC/City has the money to do the loop.

TTC has only wanted buses until development was in place opposite to Waterfront Toronto position of having RT first with Transit being Frist, not the car due to lack of parking space. Can't dig deep like other places due to the soil conditions. Need a special paint for the foundation that will only last 15 years
