The entrance to the Finch West LRT at Finch West Station in 2017 compared with another shot taken earlier this year.

We can't wait for opening day this Sunday!

Excited to see a motion to let the Spadina streetcar though the intersection before left-turning vehicles!!!

secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...
IE25.12 - Speeding up the Spadina Streetcar Decision Type: ACTION Status: Adopted Ward: 11 - University - Rosedale Committee Decision The Infrastructure and Environment Committee: 1. Requested the General Manager, Transportation Services, to investigate and report back in the first quarter 2026 on the feasibility of adjusting signal timings to allow the Spadina streetcar to proceed through each intersection before left-turning vehicles do, in order to speed up the service. Origin (October 16, 2025) Letter from Councillor Dianne Saxe Summary The Spadina streetcar is seriously delayed, and made less reliable, by allowing left-turning vehicles to turn before the streetcar can proceed through every intersection. This can and should be fixed by a minor signal timing change.

At St. Clarens loop, HARBORD cars connected with 41 KEELE buses, and did so from 1957 to 1966.

Here, we see air-electric TTC PCC #4139 meeting up with TTC GM New Look bus #3353 at the loop.

Any update @ttcriders.bsky.social @moretransitso.bsky.social on this. The Mayor @mayoroliviachow.ca and Councillor @joshmatlow.bsky.social requested a report on this later in 2025. It is a priority that proper full active TSP is on given on Line 5 & 6 so the billions wasn’t wasted on slower trips.

This is the TSP setup that must be standard on #TTC streetcar, LRT, and priority Ten Minute Network bus routes along with fully actuated signals to get transit moving and make TTC the better way then general traffic in @toronto.ca

Yes on time and late trams should both have some level of priority (late trams should get more though), and from what I've heard that is the case on the LRT lines.

Here is the typical setup for TSP in the Netherlands:
Early buses/trams (>20s early) only get green extensions, since that can avoid stops, improving comfort and reducing energy consumption. On-time buses/trams (within 20s of schedule) can extend greens and insert phases, meaning the transit phase is always 'next' regardless of when they show up in the cycle. Late buses/trams get everything the signal can physically do to provide a green at their arrival time, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Investing in your network by make it modern, attractive, and accessible means patronage will flock to your network. GO has done a great job of making its stations, trains, and services look like the 21st century despite no electrification. The same could not be said for many American agencies.

In August 2025 GO rail ridership surpassed that of the Metro-North Railroad for the first time, making it (for a while) the second busiest railway in North America by passenger numbers.

We’re very concerned to hear about this incident at Dundas Station and are thinking of the TTC employee and their loved ones. Hoping for a full recovery. Thank you to everyone responding and supporting riders and workers during a difficult day.
