Toronto has some of the most used and highest frequency bus corridors on the continent.
It’s crazy they don’t/can’t go all in on making buses great (dedicated lanes, stop consolidation, etc.).
It’s not a city where you can even begin to pretend that “nobody rides the bus”.

-🚌 paired w/ frequent & reliable service
-↔️ added to Finch, Lawrence, Jane & Steeles

Lmfaooo I need to start dunking on people and stop reasoning with them.
Most people against bus lanes and other data backed policies don’t care about logic, they care about vibes.
Have to serve the vibes back to them!

Food for thought: the 13.5 km/h average trip speed for Line 6 Finch West is slower than the PM peak average trip speed of 13.9 km/h for the 507 Long Branch streetcar, which has no private right of way for most of the route.
In comparison, Lines 1 and 2 average 30 km/h and Line 4 averages 37 km/h.

We’re thrilled that there’s now some weekend trains from Kitchener, but what’s the hold up for the all-day frequent GO trains? We dive in here:

Upgrading the parks & public realm will be critical. The proposal includes:
1. Protections for existing tree cover;
2. New trail along historic Wilkett Creek;
3. Greenways that tie Yonge and neighbourhood amenities together; and (dare to dream)
4. A big new green space on the TTC’s Finch parking lot

Our work on the North York Centre Secondary Plan proposes more tall building blocks around stations redesignating Willowdale for mid-rise and 6-stories for everything in between. It will be at committee next week.
