You're absolutely right, I'd forgotten about those questionnaires - although I haven't really noticed any change to the seating configuration of the new fleets, other than the use of flip-up seats on the closed side. And the testing of the e-buses has led to some other spec changes going forward, such as the use of alloy wheels, flush-mounted windows, etc.

On some buses, have a tall adult try to sit on a rear seat and look out the window. They have to either slouch or raise their head to see over or under the window's bar.

April 11
Was on a number of LRV's that keep calling out CODE 3 for my travels on them and the first time I have heard this for the old fleet.
Two fare enforcers at Spadina Station and were overwhelmed by the pack ridership LRV I just got off. Did not get a chance to checkout the east end platform work taking place to to the ridership.
Based on what I was seeing for the 510, headway needs to be reduced.
Lots of ties and material at Vincent Yard for work there on the mainline this weekend. Traveling a different route this weekend to not have to deal with shuttle service.

I don't think 311 could've done a worse job... I reported a missing stop pole at my intersection, and it took them ~25 minutes to tell me that it's not the City's responsibilty, instead referring me to the TTC (393-INFO).
How infuriating...
The stop pole in question is the SB one at Leslie/Nymark that contractors ripped up when they were installing tactile strips and audible pedestrian buttons at the intersection.
They installed this where the old one was:
In the City's defence, it does say: "TTC 2024".
Still pissed about being given the runaround...
UPDATE 14 April:
Dealing with the TTC was a much better experience. Within five minutes two work orders were issued - one for a temporary stop marker, the other for a permanent stop pole.
UPDATE 25 April:
The City came by yesterday and installed a permanent stop pole.
This issue has now been resolved.

The remaining two CLRVs that weren’t sent to Halton are being taken away. They are not part of the heritage fleet, so word is they will not be returning.

I'm confused. Are those 2 CLRVs different than the ones preserved by the TTC (which were presumably sent to HCRR)? If so, are those 2 CLRVs work cars? Or were there 2 CLRVs kept by the TTC in total (preservation or other purpose), and now no CLRVs are left on TTC property? If they're not part of the heritage fleet, are they going to HCRR or somewhere else?

There were two CLRVs the TTC held on to for some other use after they were retired. I might be mixing up the numbers now. I was thinking it was 4089 and 4124 that were being transported, but it looks like it was 4081 and 4124. I was always under the impression that 4081, along with 4001, were the heritage fleet cars, but now I see TTC docs that say different.

Mike Filey confirmed it was 4081 that was staying, and 4089 and 4124 to be retained as possible work cars, in an article for the Toronto Sun around the time the CLRVs retired. I found out from talking to folk at HCRR just last December that it was 4081 that they were going to scrap, and the consensus opinion seemed to be that some fool made a mistake in a planning document and the wrong car is going to be scrapped as a result.

TTC Major Projects Update and Funding Shortfalls
Information on large transit projects and their status is scattered through several reports. Two of these appear on the TTC Board’s April 16, 2025 agenda, but for a broader picture we must lo…

Seems like there is no "it gets better" with this never-ending going in circles.

Has anyone seen this before elsewhere in TTC network that I saw on Eglinton Ave E on April 15??
It wasn't there in October and never saw anyone parking there, then I only in the area 1-6 months between trips to there.
