A #TTC report last year found that installing platform edge doors at all subway stations would save $16M per year from reducing delays, & $92M in the social cost of injuries & deaths. Doors for Bloor-Yonge were announced in 2023 but no funding was allocated. Why not? Paris, Hong Kong, Singapore, Copenhagen & Seoul have all successfully retrofitted their subway systems with platform edge doors!

Protective doors are finally coming to Toronto subway platforms — but only to a new line under construction | CBC News

Once completed, the Ontario Line will have barriers separating platforms from tracks. But costs and technical challenges make it difficult to add similar safety measures to existing subway stations, according to the TTC board's chair.

I sure wish I knew whether to keep February 8th free on my calendar. I know someone who knows, but he's too by-the-book to spill any beans. Friggin' ethics.

Given all the mishaps over the new Finch West LRT - with the two-day snow shutdown being the latest - who here feels it's time to call public inquiry for this transit line? ✋🚊 #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli CC @diannesaxe.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @joshmatlow.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @maritstilesndp.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy @ttcriders.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

Having the new Finch West LRT shut down for two days straight because of a snowstorm is downright bonkers! Subway vs LRT talk aside, there is a heck of a lot of blame that needs to go around over the mishandling of this project if other LRT's like Waterloo's ION run fine! #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli

I was hoping that all those Finch LRT closures were just part of the learning process to operate it.

Now with the line shut down on the day AFTER a storm, I wonder if the whole engineering of it is wrong.

Going to be much more expensive to fix.

@verge this thing is a scam and nobody should be using it. Anything to do with Natural Cycles. It's an unfunny joke it even still exists. #periods #menstruation #ttc #trying #fertility

Per a recent poll by Liaison Strategies, 70% of respondents said the new Finch West LRT is unsuccessful including 62% who said it was very unsuccessful. Hope things turn around when those improvements get implemented. #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/transp...
