TTC Guy Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 Interesting buses got cancelled too, I wonder if that will happen again. I can see buses continuing, but there’s purely not enough vehicles to cover all the streetcar and subway routes, even with express cancelled.

Some info about the last strike, the 2008 strike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Toronto_Transit_Commission_strike https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/ttc-workers-on-strike/article_b8cd8ab4-ff6b-56b1-a405-abefb839a797.html Those buses could have finished the day but instead they chose to cut all service to avoid confrontation with the public. That 2008 strike was also illegal which lead to the essential service mandate which kept the city running till now. If they do go on a full strike, the question should TTC be allowed to strike will be bought back on the table. The strike ended cause the province legislated them back to work. There was also a strike in 2006. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUserofToronto Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 While I was on Line 1, I noticed that the voice announcer for the delay on Line 2 suddenly went from a male to a female that voices for GO transit. Now it’s not that some stations have the GO chime, but they now got the lady to voice delays too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodbineSecondExit Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I had a chance to get out and see what repairs they were doing on the Queen bridge last Friday. It must have been close to wrapping because I only saw an overhead truck doing work. Sad to say it was the same typical dumb City/TTC things happening again. They closed off the middle lanes and had a diversion route and shuttles running for a whole week and all they did was fix up the joint at the east end of the bridge. They didn't fix anything else like the crumbling track bed causing the slow order across the intersection. Surprise! NOT The green turn arrows they hastily installed along Broadview at Dundas and Queen for the 501 diversion route last year were covered up with black tarp and not being used at all. Surprise again! NOT Side note I noticed the 83 bus was also on a detour for nearly all of Friday. I couldn't find any notices or warnings for it on the TTC web site under advisories, alerts, or construction notices. Anybody surprised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stretch admittedly, but TTC vehicles already have atu 113 decals on them. And to TTCs credit , they have displayed sports team again. And other displays.

At other transit systems in the GTA, those types of signs are programmed as P/R codes, allowing operators to display them along side the route info. The TTC however programmed most of their P/R messages as route codes preventing operators from displaying them along side the route info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ. Posted Tuesday at 04:05 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:05 PM A lot of the buses, instead of auto changing to NOT IN SERVICE, it’s going to change to ATU113. It’s literally setup that way. The codes are obviously not deleted, but they changed it to auto set to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would avoid displaying the code for the fear of disciplinary actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
