Over 1000 have died at track level on the TTC, time to do something about it. Platformdoors.info
Unfortunately this likely means we will have more priority ones in Toronto. The inability for the finch and Eglinton to implement both modern transit priority and modern safety systems to prevent track access is incredibly frustrating and will result in an increased number of deaths and injuries.
BREAKING: TTC CEO confirms that Line 5 will be open for transit riders on Feb 8th!
Cautions that it will be a phased opening and will move into full operation later in the year.
IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!

If you don't count Honolulu Montreal is first, Toronto likely second.
The North American big city subway platform doors armrace is just starting. Which city will be the first to build a major line extension with doors? Who will get a complete line doorified first? Who cares about the safety of their users the most? Should CEO bonus be based on number of system deaths?
New York doesn't do a lot of transit; the transit it does do should be world-class. Read my latest article about the need for screen doors on the Second Avenue Subway now:

This is at least 5 stations worth of platform doors that could have been installed. There are a lot more folks dying on the subway than cyclists on the roads. The 5 riskiest stations represents 61 deaths over 10 years, or about 6 deaths a year. Vision Zero for subways should be a thing.

Reminder we are currently spending 0$ on platform doors for the subway. Despite there being a lot more deaths of ttc riders than cyclists every year. We love cyclists, but this project indicates we can and should be spending a lot more on platform doors.
Canada needs to relearn how to build nice things. Endless delays and runaway cost escalations are a guarantee that we simply won’t build anything at all. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/01... #WTRP

It’s incredible how much staff time is taken dealing with these types of issues. It all goes away with platform doors.
The TTC is not up to the task of running a transit system. 30 minutes to try to find a supposed trespasser. The communication between staff and dispatch is awful. www.broadcastify.com/webPlayer/31...

Good move for safety. That is a serious and real danger (platform screen doors would fix it).

The #TTC needs to get their communication straight! At Sherbourne this morning, they first announce there was no service from Broadview to Keele, then they say it's back, and then they say it's gone again! While I was able to get a shuttle bus, they really need those platform edge doors! #TOpoli

This again is something that could be fixed by better regulating the railways as public utilities, by establishing clear and reasonable standards about design and works for grade-separations to avoid extraction by CN and CP. But nobody cares at Transport Canada and these issues are just forgotten.
