Really now? I'll be sure to check next time I take the ttc (which isn't very often these days), but I'm pretty sure they're nowhere near as cushy as, say, the C14 seats, despite being configured very similarly.
So which is it? The NYC hard plastic seats, or the C14 seats?

So which one is it? Either they were sticky or slippery (to slide around in them), but surely they can't be both.
They surely can. Hard plastic can stick to your skin, or be slippery on your clothing.
 
Chiming in - for me, this is the biggest issue on the TTC. We spend a lot of time debating expansion dreams and all that - but I just want to get on the subway an not face mental health concerns pretty much every time I ride (which is at least twice a day every day)…
I’m not on it every day, but on Thursday, for the second time, I saw a guy step from the platform to the space between two subway cars on Line 2.

Where on earth did you get this from? This is completely and utterly untrue.
Of all the times I rode the TTC and sat down, I never noticed any significant degree of squishiness to those seats
Had the opportunity to try those seats again tonight (pressing down with my fingertips), I stand by what I said: they felt exactly as if you put a few-mm-thick layer of fabric over a rock. No significant squishiness or cushion effect whatsoever.
 
A report to next week's TTC meeting updates us on the installation of 5G in the tunnels/stations.


From the above?

Was the "operational" issue between Finch and Davisville this morning due to late clearing of overnight work? What a disaster.
 
TTC June Service changes are out.

While a lot of it is the usual seasonal decreases (and the odd increase); and some is post-construction reinstatement (511, and 509)

There are a notable number of terrible service decreases. Services that already have bad service like Mortimer 62 will drop in headway down to 30m in mid-day.

That's a sure way to kill ridership . It makes no sense at all.

Gerrard 135 is another to see cuts, with even more bloat added to its 'recovery' time.

Cuts, cuts and cuts. At least it’s not Vancouver style cuts.
 
TTC restoring service on 509, 510 and 511 streetcars this Sunday

June 19, 2025

As of Sun., June 22, regular streetcar service on the 509 Harbourfront, 510 Spadina, and 511 Bathurst streetcars resumes, following infrastructure work at the intersection of Bathurst St., Lake Shore Blvd. W., and Fleet St.

In February, the TTC and the City of Toronto began replacing aging watermains and streetcar tracks at the intersection. The work included replacing the curved streetcar tracks at Bathurst St/Eireann Quay and Queens Quay and on Bathurst St. from Front St. to King St. W., along with overhead wiring upgrades. Over the next few weeks, the TTC will continue to finalize work on newly installed switches along the intersection.

The 509 Harbourfront and 511 Bathurst replacement bus service will no longer run.

In addition, service will be increased on the 509 Harbourfront Mon. to Fri. between 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., Sat. from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sun. between 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. to meet additional demand during the summer months.

Seasonal service adjustments

Starting Mon., June 23, seasonal service will begin on several TTC routes.

The 200 Toronto Zoo will operate every 20 minutes between Rouge Hill GO Station and the Toronto Zoo.

The 201 Bluffer’s Park will operate every 23 minutes between Kennedy Station and Bluffer’s Park.

Seasonal service will also resume on the 203 High Park. Buses will operate every 20 minutes between High Park Station and High Park, on weekends and holidays only.

Service on the 92 Woodbine South will be increased in the evenings Mon. - Fri. to accommodate customers heading to Woodbine Beach.

The 508 Lake Shore route will be suspended until Tues., Sept. 2, due to reduced summer demand.

Full details of the service adjustments are available at https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/Updates/TTC-service-adjustments. Customers are also encouraged to follow @TTCNotices on X or sign up for eAlerts.
 
Absolute disaster on Adelaide again today. Streetcar didn't move at all for 10 minutes as delivery vehicles and construction vehicles clogged up everything.

I haven't seen traffic wardens at all at PM rush hour today or yesterday, and with King/Church closed this is when they are most desperately needed.
