Those issues were created by the politicians refusing to support public transit OPERATIONS in general. There is money for highways used by the single-occupant SUVs, but little for the the crowds using buses or streetcars.

Again, shitty route management, rules that make no sense won’t go away with more funding

Adult kid is about to start postgrad at community college. Is there a post secondary student rate for presto that is NOT a prepaid monthly pass?

The Presto website has info on student discounts and they seem to depend on the College they attend. They should to check it out but most seem to require monthly.

The monthly pass is not worth it, as they only have class four days a week, and half the time I would be driving pick-up or drop off. My friend's kid goes to Trent and their tuition includes no-charge city transit passes. I appreciate Peterborough and Toronto are not equal, but it would be useful if the TTC secondary school per trip discount also applied to postsecondary.

I was at Kenedy station this afternoon and the construction work for the relocation of the fair gates to make the old unpaid corridor between the station and the go station is now complete. The two entrances to line 5 just have a temporary fence in front of the doors now so hopefully it's a good sign.

Is Castle Frank finally finished? I see that the scaffolding out front is finally gone. What, was that five years?

I believe so. Seemed that way last time I was there. Though I'm not there all that often.

Again, it was up to the school to offer it.
Pre-COVID, Ryerson did offer such a program for each student. I recall York debating it, but I don't know if they ended up approving it or not.

This CNN article may be of some interest, if only to demonstrate that we are not alone! https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/25/climate/subway-cities-infrastructure-flooding

I remember the U of T student union debating it as well, and it wasn't approved. It's not like the passes are free, the student union pays it out of your student fees (albeit at a significantly discounted rate vs a normal monthly pass).
A quick google found this, saying that the TTC was willing in 2018 to give all students a "free" monthly pass for $70/student, if all students had to pay.

With attempted murder charges? Highly unlikely.
