@SwanBoatSteve @metromorning @EnglishRail The expert on @metromorning was bang on. Switches need work, switch signaling needs work. Many Dutch systems also have passing restrictions for trams but fixing these issues will go a long way plus signal priority. Pot shots won't

@RM_Transit @NickAnand1 Daily rider. Far from it. Very reliable. And pretty fast. So I beg to differ. It's a game changer for people on the route and mid-Toronto in general. I fear that it will become too popular. I hope they add the 3rd car soon!

@RM_Transit @NickAnand1 Still haven't answered concerning the line 5 comment.

@SwanBoatSteve The only good thing to come out of the Museum Station project is the exit at the North end of Queens Pk. Not helpful if you have mobility issues however.

@JoshMatlow We followed instructions on my street! Nothing has been picked up since the instructed date. Our recycling bins are overflowing. If the province is this bone-headed, it's going to be a rough few months...

@TTChelps @SwanBoatSteve Given this will happen often, Would it be best to route the 90 Vaughan just to Oakwood St or Fairbanks (via Vaughan) when Line 5 opens? The route to Cedarvale on Eglinton is a traffic nightmare

[TTC Service Alerts @TTCnotices]

90 Vaughan Regular service has resumed near Oakwood Ave at Eglinton Ave West.

[H R Martin Phills @TFAtoronto]

@SwanBoatSteve Still needs to be done (switching to double point) but in concert with repair the faulty switch controllers

[H R Martin Phills @TFAtoronto]

At least give people a choice!

[H R Martin Phills @TFAtoronto]

@TTCnotices @TTChelps @ttcriders no announcements and more than a 15 minutes delay SB at St Clair W. Found out that it was a signal failure. The TTC's and bad customer service on busy Saturday is a main reason why people are frustrated. Announcements should be immediate.

@metromorning @davidcommon
Please talk about how the Trump administration may be manipulating the stock market and making great profits in the short term with these wild swings. Elizabeth Warren has a bill before the Senate. meanwhile us small investors lose millions.

Gosh it’d be a shame if everyone posted this over and over in reply to every single tweet Elon Musk posts from now on

@TTChelps 4:30 pm already waited 10 minutes . The line stretched to 512 eastbound platform. i should have taken a picture

[H R Martin Phills @TFAtoronto]

@TTChelps 4:30 pm. No reason for a 20 minute wait and long lines

@RM_Transit Unfortunately, many were driven off the system by the spate of violence we had which made the news. I'm constantly trying to convince former riders that this was a blip but this is not an easy task.

[H R Martin Phills @TFAtoronto]

@RM_Transit I'm not an apologist for the TTC by any stretch btw. They can do 100%better. I have seen service levels improve on a daily basis. It just needs to get better!

[H R Martin Phills @TFAtoronto]

@RM_Transit You know, streetcars have dedicated shunt lights (the I bars) where turns take place often. They have the right of way when the bar is vertical or slanted (shunt or turn). There is the new in the box rule. People should be fined if they block right of way signals @oliviachow
