Disappointed. I dunno why their team is so bad at this. I don’t get why they couldn’t make the panels orange and black to better match what was there before. They messed up Kipling’s and Finch’s colour combinations too. Finch looks particularly awful.
Isn't the lifespan of Artics considered to be 12 years (which they are now)? In any case, if only 2 are retired so far (aside from accidents), it could just be a one-off, not an indication of impending mass retirement.
So basically Donlands station 2.0.
Wonder if it's the same prick who was acting all aggressive at College after having caused the 12:50 pm shutdown (which I unfortunately walked in on) between Bloor & King "due to trespasser at track level". Hope the employee will be ok.
The lifespan of every transit bus built and sold in North America is designed to be 12 years, not just articulated ones.
Incorrect. These are the first two with major repairs not worth paying for. More will follow.
Gotta love the waste of resources. Last I heard TTC doesn’t allow all door boarding on buses. Meanwhile Ford has gotten his way on banning speed cameras because they gouge motorists of money. But Ford doesn’t want disband fare enforcement and his government doesn’t want to provide funding to the TTC operating costs
But it used to be 18 years before? Or did the Orion Vs last 6 years beyond their design life?
Why bother checking those who obviously already paid their fare (any fare enforcement should've happened for them when boarding the bus/tram) rather than those entering from the street at the turnstiles? Talk about barking at the wrong tree.
Another thing is that, you don’t see Fare enforcement officers on Barrie Transit/Simcoe Linx and Oakville Transit. Neither of them don’t offer All Door boarding and lastly TTC doesn’t offer any all door boarding on buses
Great! Especially as they can do it with existing resources. That should put a stop to some of the whining we hear here about the issue. Though I'm sure people will find something else.
TTC frequently has all-door boarding on buses at busy stops. Even with 4 or 5 people, I've been lined up at the back door (in a line to the front door) with no one on the bus at all, and the driver opens the back door. I'm guessing they are less likely to do this outside a high school, but it's very common practice. Which does make me wonder how often you ride TTC.
I feel like it's a form of security theatre, like the TSA/CATSA. It makes people think that the TTC is taking fare evasion seriously.
A continuing pet peeve of mine are the fully able-bodied people who walk from the back of the bus to exit out the front door of the bus. Ignoring the centre doors entirely.
TTC staffer injured.
