Google Maps Boarding locations for faster transfers and exits on Line 1 and 2, you won't always get a recommendation.

On a similar topic I do hope the new subway trains for Line 2 and the OL will have displays showing where each car is relative to the exits on the platforms. This has probably been brought up before on the forum and hopefully at the TTC as well.

I highly, highly doubt that will ever become a thing here.

We cant even get next stop displays right in this city, so having the info that you're proposing is akin to asking the TTC to get a spaceship blasted over to Mars.

Do other transit systems do this? Are you able to share any photos/videos as examples?

I'll try google maps tonight for TTC but Gaode/A Map for China would give recommendations on car, platform exit, and station exit for trips, transferring or otherwise.
New Yorks new R211's do this as well. If New York can figure it out then there is no excuse for us beyond laziness, incompetence, and a continued culture that rewards mediocrity.

You’re saying about this organization that doesn’t have any technical expertise to implement this?

They only figured out how to display something different on the TR screens after a decade. As for the bus LCD displays, they are still reeling to figure out how to organize it.

Someone from there basement can do it but they don’t seem like they can could.
 
I use the "Efficient TTC" on my smartphone to find where the train car will be closest to the escalator at stations that I want to use and haven't been before in a long time.

Noticed that it hasn't been updated in a while. Still show Line 3 as Scarborough (not Ontario Line). o_O

Greetings from the 39 degree oven that is Budapest!

Thought I'd share these with you for those who may be interested.

Note the wayfinding signage which is far more helpful than anything I've seen in Toronto.

Now it's off to the Grand Market Hall! Enjoy your day everyone
