There's special event express buses during the CNE. I don't see why this couldn't be done for six soccer matches at the stadium.

I don't know too much about these things, but I'm going to guess the hypothetical scenario is that the streetcars would be running with air conditioning on at full power (this will be in June) and with too many streetcars drawing down power in one electrically divided section of the route it would trip some safety mechanism that would cut the power to the line.

Bloor-Yonge Station: For the Hayden Street/1 Bloor East entrance/exit there are bollards at the top and bottom of the escalator. Do I dare ask why there are bollards here?

I believe to stop bikes (especially the fat tire food delivery ebikes) from getting stuck on the narrow escalator.

More likely to stop wheelchairs.

I believe it’s to stop all delivery bikes entirely. That escalator use to break so often before those were put in. When the renovations happened, they added a bike rail along the side of the stairs, and signage on the steps imploring its usage; which were promptly ignored by the delivery twits. And so the really annoying, yet completely necessary bollards went in.

The best way to stop them would be to actually have enforcement on the Kitchener line! That's how a lot of them get downtown, blocking the trains during rush hour with 4+ ebikes per door

So my follow up question would be: why this station (and specific exit) and seemingly no other?

It's not the station property; that's 33 Bloor East. I'm pretty sure the property owners were just tired of having to repair the escalators.
On a side note, the accessible elevator at that location, with it's more secluded location and easy access from Hayden has long been used as a urinal by drunk students/homeless/whomever, so keeping the escalators running for those who can't manage the stairs is a boon.

Hmm i'm just going to leave this here; trains not stopping at Davisville for almost 2 hours on Wednesday during the mid-day, while Doug was giving himself a pat on the back over at the same station at approximately the same time?
Coincidence, or did it just so happen to be 2 wildly different events happening at the same time? I'm betting on the former.
I'm sure an FOI on this one would be comical to read.

Lovely.
I still don't understand how people think it is appropriate for people to crack open a cold one on the subway. It's likely just me but nobody should be drinking alcohol on the subway
Not everyone can handle their booze and I doubt anyone wants a belligerent drunk causing problems.

I feel like if we enforced fares 99% of this crap would disappear
