T2P Films Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 My co-producer Alex from SkyRail Productions and myself have been working hard on a TTC documentary this summer. The documentary will feature 7-11 TTC subway operators, 4 tower/transit controllers from transit control, a subway line mechanic and supervisor. We have completed our filming and currently in the editing stage. Here is our introduction video to the production to be released this fall: If anyone is wondering we got permission from TTC corporate and they know what we are doing.

T2P Films Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am mainly interested in subway and our production is already looking to be 1 to 1.5 hrs so can't fit in other modes of transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38 Highland Creek Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 i know you already said you are not planning to do a documentry on buses or streetcars. I hope you change your mind. Only time will tell. Surface drivers are the hardest to interview because they're too busy serving passengers on their vehicles. Maybe it'll ease when an open house comes up.

MCIBUS Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 @Fire123 Do only do in the GTA? Have you ever thought of doing one on OC Transpo's O Train? With the expansion set in a few months(more trains 8 min service instead of 15 min). I know its still early but once our LRT is up and running(2018 supposedly) would you consider doing a video on that operation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2P Films Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 @MCIBus Currently only in the GTA. However, in the future ie. by 2018 possibly elsewhere too.. maybe you would like to assist us if that is the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
