The Finch West LRT is now open! 🥳
While this is great news for Toronto, the LRT has slow average speeds and has only conditional transit signal priority (activating when the train is late).
MTSO continues to support implementing full TSP on Lines 5 & 6 to speed up travel times for riders.

Good News! Line 2 is completely free of slowzones as of today, and Line 1 has four slowzones which are planned to be removed by the end of the month. Hopefully the system can be slowzone free by the end of the year.

The last takeaway is about the Milton line. Currently the Milton and Richmond Hill lines are the only lines without Two Way All Day service, however in this map the Richmond Hill line is classified under peak only service, and the Milton line is included with the other 7 lines. 4/4

Another takeaway is that only options 1&2 from the Sheppard Subway consultations in 2024 appear on this map. The third option which was an eastern extension all the way to Morningside does not appear on this map. 3/4
