After a year of design, I've finally completed my fantasy transit map of the Greater Toronto Area! I tried to keep things realistic (but, yes there are some silly things!) Let me know what you think

Bloor Street, Nov. 4, 8:45am. Where is the congestion that @fordnation @PrabSarkaria are making a provincial election issue?

Been riding an ebike for a year now, it's faster than transit, & comparable to driving, at a fraction of the cost, while helping the environment. Bike lanes keep me (and many others) safe while reducing traffic

Too many drivers across Ontario are stuck in gridlock for hours every day and bike lanes are making things worse. Next week, we’re introducing legislation that would require cities to get provincial approval for any new bike lanes that require removing a lane of traffic.

lol the TTC now posting that riders shouldn't complain about a subway that can't go faster than 10km/h Keeping trains safe doesn't require slow zones on most transit systems!

Toronto Cycling and Pedestrian Projects@TO_Cycling_Ped7 Oct 2024
The City of Toronto is proposing the installation of a complete street on Dupont Street between Dundas Street West and Davenport Road. Complete streets enhance road safety and accessibility for all, including pedestrians, people cycling, driving and taking transit. (1/3)

Literally my dream job! Whoever gets the job needs to be someone who relies on the TTC, sees its strengths, and what needs improvement

The TTC is hiring a new permanent CEO. I've added a letter to the TTC Board agenda outlining my vision for a transit system that will get Toronto moving. Read below: cdn.ttc.ca/-/media/Project/T…

The TTC has a great foundation: expansive service, high quality stations, & modern vehicles. It just needs bigger, better investments for serious improvement

I hear this every day for months while my train travels at 10km/h: "Attention passengers, this train is delayed due to track work ahead. The TTC apologizes for the inconvenience" The city needs to invest in better maintenance for a vital service

The @WaterfrontBIA and @leadingmobility's new video interviews waterfront stakeholders about the importance of the Waterfront East LRT. Give it a watch! youtu.be/wNAE739rS-8

Now is the time to build the Waterfront East LRT

The Waterfront East LRT is a critical investment needed to support ...

Cross platform transfer for a 3 minute transfer is great!

~2.5M people use the TTC per day, and @BikeShareTO saw nearly 1M trips in August. Now imagine if all those people were driving cars instead. There simply isn't enough room for every single person in Toronto to drive a car. Scalable and sustainable options need to be priority.

Cycling is faster than driving and the TTC, to ban bike lanes because we have too many cars will help no one

Replying to @TTChelps
@TTChelps why is there a 40 min gap in 925 service? Wanted to get around the line 1 closure but 3 buses being 40 min late is not useful

Nevermind it's 5 buses bunched together! How does this even happen?

It feels like the TTC has gotten more and more unreliable in the last few years. Now, the subway gets shutdown for oil spills and mechanical issues daily. Toronto deserves better and needs a big investment for better transit

Pleasantly surprised to see a streetcar only lane on York Street for the Ontario Line diversion! Red lanes should be painted on Adelaide and Richmond too

Rather than improve wifi on the TTC (and add it in tunnels!) It's getting removed. Really sad to see basic amenities being abandoned thestar.com/news/gta/rogers-…

Rogers, TTC ending free Wi-Fi in subway stations will widen ‘digital divide,’ say critics

TConnect is exhibiting poor performance, is vulnerable to cyber attacks, and its usage has declined by 65 per cent in 12 months.

Ok but what if instead of a loop we embraced our Line 1 "U-Shape" culture and made 4 U lines...
